I made this recipe tonight from Martha Stewart Living. It was a little messy but I will make it again.
The recipe called for parsley in the sauce but I used cilantro. I also precooked the corn. I addd more vegetables. I also took a little of the sauce and added some olive oil to brush the bread with instead of butter before grilling. Serves 4.
Cuban Skirt Steak and Vegetables
Ingredients
8 small garlic cloves
6 Tbs lime juice -about 2 limes
3/4 tsp cumin seeds, toasted- can use 1 tsp dried cumin
1/2 tsp dried oregano
1/2 c packed fresh cilantro leaves (or flat parsley)
1/2 c olive oil
Coarse salt and pepper
1 1/2 lb skirt steak, cut into 3 inch pieces
1 small sweet white onion cut into 1/2 inch wedges--about 2 cups I used 2 medium
1 large bell pepper cut into 1/2 inch strips--I used 2
2 ears corn, shucked and cut into 1 inch rounds--I precooked the corn and used 3-4
Butter at room temperature, preferably unsalted--or use some sauce with added olive oil
1/2 loaf ciabatta bread, cut lengthwise and than into 2-3 inch pieces
Directions
1. Place garlic, lime juice, cumin seeds, oregano and cilantro in a food processor or blender. With machine running slowly add 1/4 cup olive oil until combined. Season with salt and pepper.
2. Season steak with salt and pepper. Heat 1 Tbs oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add steak. Cook turning once or twice until golden brown about 3-5 minutes per side depending on thickness. Transfer to a plate. I have grilled the steak outdoors or use a grill pan on the stove and it works great.
3. Pour off fat and wipe pan clean. Add remaining 2 Tbs oil, onion and bell pepper, cook stirring occasionally until vegetables are just browned, 3-4 minutes. Add corn, cook until browned, about 3-5 minutes. Return steak to pan, add 1/3 cup garlic sauce. Cook, tossing about 1 minute.
4. Meanwhile, preheat a griddle or cast iron skillet over medium heat. Butter the ciabatta bread. Cook, pressing with a spatula, flipping once until both sides are golden, about 5 minutes a side.
5. Serve steak and vegetables with bread and remaining garlic sauce.
