You can cook skirt steak, one of the best tasting cuts of meat, right on your stovetop with 4 ingredients! The skirt is a flavorful piece of meat and this recipe has under 2 carbs per serving! Enjoy and refreshing Mango Salad with the Steak (see notes below for recipe).
2poundsoutside cut skirt steak cut into 3 equal pieces to fit in pan
3large cloves garlic
3tablespoonsLee & Perrins Worcestershire sauce
2tablespoonsunsalted buttersoftened
salt and pepper to tasteI used flaky sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
Defrost the steak, if frozen.
Pat steak dry with paper towels.
Lightly pound the meat with the flat side of a meat mallet until it is evenly ¼" thick.
Rub raw garlic on the surface of the steak. There are a lot of nooks and crannies so it will take a few cloves to get the whole steak.
Brush Worcestershire sauce on the meat. Let it marinate at room temperature for 15-30 minutes or up to 24 hours in the fridge. Bring it to room temperature before cooking.
Lightly season steak with salt and pepper.
Spray a 12 or 14-inch cast-iron or stainless steel skillet with cooking spray. Heat on high heat.
Add the meat to the pan and cook for about 4 minutes per side until medium rare.
Remove the steak to a plate, season with a little salt and pepper, and top the meat with unsalted butter.
Loosely tent with aluminum foil for 5 minutes before serving. Slice against the grain and serve with accumulated juices.
Notes
The salad is NOT in the nutrition facts.Lea & Perrins Worcestershire sauce is only gluten-free in the United States. If you live in Canada, check the package or get a different brand.Mango Salad Recipe
1 cup fresh mango cubes (I used 3 honey mangoes, which are tiny.)
1 avocado, sided
¼ cup red onion, diced
½ cup seeded and diced cucumber
1 cup grape tomatoes, halved
1 jalapeno pepper seeded and diced small
¼ cup chopped cilantro
Juice of one lime
Salt and pepper
Mix it all together. Double and triple the ingredients if you need more. This is a sweet and refreshing salad. If you have a bell pepper, green onions, an apple, they would all be great substitutions.Paleo and Kaufmann Diet Cooking Instructions:If you are on a Paleo or Kaufmann Diet, you can season the meat with salt, pepper, and 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1 teaspoon ground ginger, and juice of 1 lemon prior to cooking.When it comes off out of the pan, add 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter (I like Kerrygold butter) to the top of the meat and cover loosely with aluminum foil for 10 minutes. The butter will flavor the meat and mix with the pan juices for a tasty sauce.How to Grill the Skirt Steak:Follow the same directions for stovetop cooking. Instead of heating your stove, brush the grill with oil. Preheat the grill on medium-high for at least 15 minutes to get it hot. Salt and pepper the meat before adding to the grill. Grill about 7 minutes per side for medium rare.
