Grilled Skirt Steak W/ Caramelized Onions

I love caramelized onions. I don’t know how other people make it but my recipe is too easy that I sometimes amaze myself at that realization. Actually, I learned the recipe from my dear Mother-in-Law.

I could eat caramelized onions by itself but most of the times I add it in mashed potatoes. It’s really delicious. Sometimes I use it as a topper for grilled meat like this grilled skirt steak I made for dinner last night.

For the skirt steak, just season both sides with Worcertershire sauce and any steak seasonings from Montreal Steak or other grilling dried herb seasonings. Just let that marinate for a few hours.

For the caramelized onions, slice 2 large onions in flat rounds. Melt 1 stick of butter on a non-stick pan with the sliced onions. Let that whole thing cook in low heat for about an hour or an hour and a half. Add a little bit more butter if needed. Don’t forget to stir occasionally.

That’s all you have to do. The secret is butter, lots of it, and slow cooking in low heat.

Grill the skirt steak, 8 to 10 minutes on each side. Depending on how thick your steak is. Let it cool for about 5 minutes before slicing. Transfer onto a plate then top with the caramelized onions. To quote Rachael Ray, “YUM-O”.

Broiled Skirt Steak For Fall Season

Fall season is slowly approaching so I’m sure you are taking advantage of grilling outside as much as you can before it finally hits the weather and time to cover the grill again. But just because it’s cold, raining, or snowing outside doesn’t mean you can’t have that “grilled” taste that you want in your meat. You know, there’s that thing in your oven called “Broil”. Not only does it cook the meat real fast, it also gives that slight grilled burn texture and taste. Not as much as when you’re grilling outside of course but just a touch which is usually what you need to satiate the summer craving.

So if you happen to have skirt steak in the fridge that you wish you could grill up, why don’t you just marinate it like usual then broil it?

INGREDIENTS :
Skirt Steak
2 tbsp olive oil
juice of half lime
dried herbs like parsley, oregano, basil, and thyme
a couple squirt of balsamic vinegar
a couple squirt of Worcestershire sauce
salt and pepper

Whisk together olive oil, lime juice, dried herbs, balsamic vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, salt and pepper in a bowl. Put the skirt steak in a baking pan or container. Coat both sides with the marinade. Store in the fridge and marinade for an hour or so before broiling.

Broil the skirt steak on high setting for about 8-10 minutes or depending on the size of the steak. The thicker/bigger the longer to broil.

Now doesn’t that look good for dinner even if it’s cold, raining, or snowing outside? You know what else? The heat from the broiler would probably help warm up the house for a few minutes too.

Anyone else miss Mario Batali? Molto Mario was one of my favorite Food Network shows and I was so sad when I found it’d been canceled. Is he even on Iron Chef anymore? I can’t remember the last time I saw him there either.

Anyway, he made an appearance on Today, showing Meredith Vieira how to make a winter meal with skirt steak and a simple marinade of olive oil, tyme, rosemary, black pepper and garlic. He also makes a salsa verde and a bean salad.
