Seared Skirt Steak Recipe

Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Skirt Steak

   Season the outer skirt steak with salt and black pepper on both sides.

2. 2

   Heat the Pan

   In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over high heat until shimmering.

3. 3

   Sear the Skirt Steak

   Add the seasoned skirt steak to the hot skillet and sear for about 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness.

4. 4

   Rest the Steak

   Remove the steak from the skillet and let it rest for about 5 minutes before slicing.

5. 5

   Make the Salsa Verde

   While the steak is resting, prepare the salsa verde by combining garlic cloves, parsley, cilantro, red onion, lime juice, and a pinch of salt in a food processor. Blend until smooth.

6. 6

   Prepare the Plantain Chips

   Peel the plantains and slice them into thin rounds. Heat vegetable oil in a separate pan over medium heat.

7. 7

   Fry the Plantain Chips

   Once the oil is hot, add the plantain slices in batches and fry until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.

8. 8

   Serve

   Slice the rested skirt steak against the grain, serve with salsa verde drizzled on top, and plantain chips on the side.
