This is one of my favorite go to steak recipes. Now it is worth searching out skirt steak to use in this recipe, but you could use any other cut of meat you choose. The reason why I cook this steak in the oven is that I like to use a baking sheet with a rim on it and put some of the marinade over the steak while it cooks. I think it helps to incorporate the flavors more. The steak has a slight spiciness to it and I like to serve it with dirty rice to complement the spice.
Ingredients:
2-3 pound cut of skirt steak
3 cups of soy sauce (I use the lower sodium one because we use salt in the recipe as well)
1/2 cup of sesame oil
1/4 cup of chili oil
Juice from 1 lime
1/8 cup of Worcestershire Sauce
1 Cup of unsalted peanuts, finely chopped
1/2 cup scallions, chopped
1 tablespoon of garlic
2 tablespoons of salt
3 tablespoons of pepper
Directions: Take the steak out of the package and pat it dry. Next combine all the ingredients except the salt and pepper in a large container with a cover. Take the skirt steak and rub the salt and pepper over both sides. Take the steak and place it in the container and cover. Let the steak marinate overnight. But if you are crunched for time let it marinate for at least an hour.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Take out a baking sheet with a rim on it. Place the skirt steak on the baking sheet so that it is laid out flat. Now take some of the marinade that is left and drizzle it over the skirt steak. Place the steak in the oven for 15 minutes. Take the steak out of the oven and let cool for 10-15 minutes before cutting as the steak will continue to cook slightly. After the steak has cooled cut into thin strips. Serve immediately.
Note: Every oven is different and everyone prefers their steak cooked to different temperatures. What I have indicated above is to have the steak cooked to medium rare. It would be pink in the center. Now the key to making sure the steak is cooked to your liking is to cook it for the 15 minutes, pull it out and let it cool. After it cools cut the steak in the thickest part and also another spot where it is thinner. Based on those two cuts if you want the steak cooked more put it back in the oven for another 5-10 minutes and then serve.
