Spicy Tamarind Skirt Steak
You'll see fibers running through the cooked steak; make sure to cut across them for tender slices.
From: bonappetit.com SERVES 4
3 Thai or serrano chiles, with seeds, thinly sliced into rounds
¼ cup tamarind concentrate
3 tablespoons light brown sugar
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon plus 4 tsp. vegetable oil
1½ pound skirt steak, cut into 4 pieces
Whisk chiles, tamarind, brown sugar, salt, and 1 Tbsp. oil in a shallow baking dish until sugar is dissolved. Add steak and turn to coat. Cover and chill at least 4 hours.
Heat 2 tsp. oil in a large skillet over high heat. Working in 2 batches and adding remaining 2 tsp. oil between batches, cook steak until deeply browned, 2–4 minutes per side for medium-rare.
Transfer steak to a cutting board; let rest at least 5 minutes before slicing.
