Ingredients
- 2 lbs Skirt Steak, cut into 3”- 4” pieces
- ¼ cup Red Wine Vinegar
- 3 tbsp Olive Oil
- 3 Garlic cloves, finely minced
- 1 tsp Smoked Paprika
- 1 tsp Ground Cumin
- 2 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Pepper
Saffron Rice:
- 2 c Basmati Rice
- 3 ½ cups Broth (chicken or vegetable)
- 1 pinch Saffron threads soaked in 2T hot water for 10 minutes
- 1 tsp Salt
Instructions
Marinate the skirt steak in the above ingredients for up to 12 hours.
Pre-heat your BBQ grill. Grill steaks 4-5 minutes on each side, depending on the thickness of the steaks and how you like your steak done. Generally 4 minutes each side for medium-rare. Let the meat rest for 5 minutes on your cutting board.
Important: Cut across the grain. Lay one of the steaks in front of you, with the grain running left to right. Cut across all the fibers of the grain. Cut each steak into ¼” inch thin slices. Since how you cut is so crucial to the tenderness of the steak, I like to cut all of the meat first and serve on a platter.
Saffron Rice:
Wash and drain the rice.
Put rice, broth, saffron + soaking water and salt in a 4-qt pot. Bring to a boil over high heat. Once it starts boiling, immediately cover and turn to low heat.
Let the rice cook on low heat, undisturbed (no peeking!) for 20 minutes. Turn off heat. Let sit for another 5 minutes covered to finish steaming. Use a fork to fluff up the rice.
