Whether you’re cooking a steak on the grill or in a skillet, the way your steak is prepared can have a huge impact on the taste. Skirt steak is a good choice for making that “shredded” steak that people like. Here’s how to tenderize and prepare skirt steak.
How to Cook Skirt Steak
Since skirt steak is quite tough and does not really have a char on it, there are some techniques that you can use to help make the meat tender. The first technique is to soak the steak in a mixture of salt and ice water for one hour. Salt will help to draw out the juices and moisture and ice water will keep the steak submerged and more evenly cook it. After one hour, remove the steak from the ice water and pat dry. Next, season it with a mixture of kosher salt, pepper, sugar, garlic and other spices. The skirt steak can then be cooked by placing it on a foil-lined baking sheet or grill pan. Cook for about 20 minutes over medium high heat. Remove the steak from the pan and allow it to rest for at least 5 minutes before slicing.
