Instructions
Make the salsa
- In a medium bowl, mix the cilantro, onion, tomato, serrano pepper, garlic, fresh lime juice, sea salt, black pepper, oil, and vinegar.
Make the skirt steak
- Place the meat on a cutting board and sprinkle both sides with coarse salt. Resist the temptation to rub the salt in—you’ll end up making the steak too salty. Let sit for 30 minutes so the meat can soak up some of the salt and come to room temperature.
- Heat a cast-iron grill pan or skillet over high heat until very, very hot. (I mean smoking hot!) Sear the steak until cooked to perfection, 3 to 5 minutes per side for medium rare. A wee bit longer for a medium steak.
- Remove the steak from the pan and scrape off the excess salt. Place it on a warm plate, cover it, and let it rest for about 10 minutes.
- Slice the steak into thin slices across the grain. Serve immediately with the salsa on the side.
Notes
- Double the salsa--Make a double batch of the salsa and dribble it over breakfast tacos, grilled chicken, or scoop it up with chips.
- Dietary--This recipe is suitable for gluten-free and dairy-free diets.
