Skirt Steaks on the Grill


hanger-steak.jpgWhen I saw Jaden’s recent article on Cook Smarter about different cuts of meat, I was immediately reminded of one of our favorite steak recipes, Hanger Steak with Olive Oil and Herbs. And, of course, a craving followed shortly thereafter.

It’s been awhile since we’d made it, and the weather was decent enough to play outside. A short trip to Costco, and previous dinner menu plans were out the window.

I found this recipe in a local newspaper a few years ago, and over time, have tweaked it a little. It is quick to make, and it produces flavorful, tender bites every time. Fire up!

Hanger Steak with Olive Oil and Herbs

  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • One 1-pound hanger/skirt steak
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 10 oz. small potatoes, quartered
  • 5 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 cup coarsely chopped herbs
  • Combine Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce and maple syrup. Coat steak with the mixture. Season with salt and pepper. Let marinate 2 hours at room temperature. About an hour before serving, heat oven to 375. Coat potatoes with 2 tablespoons olive oil, salt and pepper and roast crisp. Keep warm. Heat grill. Grill steaks. Set aside. Warm remaining olive oil in a small skillet, add herbs and cook about 30 seconds, until herbs are fragrant. Pour herbs and oil over potatoes and steaks. Serve. Serves 2.

    Now this is hard to admit but I’ve never quite known what to do with this cut and couldn’t be bothered to buy it and try it. But I’m hip now. Thanks.

    Have you tried Skirt with chimichurri sauce? It is SO good!!! Marinate with the recipe that you have above, and instead of topping with herbs, top with chimichurri sauce.
