From Joe Schramm:

Grilled Marinated Skirt Steak (Can substitute other similar cuts, such as flank, flap, hanger - cooking time and nutritional value will vary but preparation and cutting technique are the same)

*** Serves 8 ***

Ingredients

3/4 cup balsamic vinegar
1/2 cup olive or coconut oil
1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
2 shallots, roughly chopped
2 garlic cloves
1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro leaves
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon kosher salt
4 pounds skirt steak, cleaned of all exterior fat and connective tissue
Preparation

Put all ingredients except the steak in a blender and blend until smooth.

Pour the marinade over the skirt steak in a nonreactive pan.

Break Point
Marinate, refrigerated, for 3 to 4 hours before grilling, but no more than 10 hours.

When ready to cook the steaks, prepare your grill for grilling.

Remove the skirt steak from the marinade and clean away any excess marinade with the back of a knife.

Grill the steak over medium-high heat for 4 to 5 minutes per side to serve it rare to medium-rare.

When cooked, slice the steak thinly against the grain, starting at one corner and cutting on the bias. Serve either hot or at room temperature.

Optional - I like grilled steak (of any kind) served with a good chimichurri (this is also good with grilled pork, chicken, or a rich fish (like salmon) - it may even be good with corn flakes - but they are not a protein so don't go there!)

Arugula Chimichurri - makes 2 cups (estimated serving size - 2 TBS) - Yields about 2 cups

2 cups baby arugula
1/2 cup olive oil
2 medium garlic cloves
2 TBS red wine vinegar
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
Combine all ingredients in food processor and blend for about 20 seconds. Scrape down side of processor bowl and blend for another 10-15 seconds.
