RE: Need main course idea for Supper Club
I got this recipe from a free card at Williams-Sonoma a while back, and it is delicious. It would be great with a black bean and corn salad, and some grilled vegetables, or something like that. It's pretty quick and easy, but to get the right flavor, make sure you get smoked paprika from W-S or somewhere.
Grilled Marinated Skirt Steak
1 T. salt
1 T. smoked paprika
1 t. freshly ground black pepper
1 lb. skirt steak, trimmed of excess fat (I have made it using flank or skirt, and it turns out well either way)
1/3 c. fresh orange juice
1/3 c. dry sherry
3 T. firmly packed light brown sugar
2 T. olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 t. crushed red pepper flakes
In a small bowl, stir together the salt, paprika, and black pepper. Rub spice mixture on both sides of steak.
In a bowl, whisk together the orange juice, sherry, brown sugar, olive oil, garlic, and red pepper flakes. Place marinade in a non-reactive bowl with steak and marinate at least 1 hour, up to 4 hours.
Preheat grill to high heat. Remove steak from marinade and pat dry with paper towels. Grill 3 to 4 minutes per side for medium-rare or until cooked to your liking.
Transfer steak to a carving board, cover loosely with aluminum foil, and let rest for 5 minutes. Cut steak against the grain into thin slices. Serves 2 to 3.
Also-- let me know-- I have a really good black bean and corn salad recipe I can post. Good luck!
