Skirt Steak and Garlic Bread 🥩🥖🍺

Another easy yet delicious favorite of my teenage son. Getting this child to eat only took about 12 and a half years; now it’s a pleasure to feed him. One day he had a group of kids over that I hadn’t known were coming. I quickly defrosted some skirt steaks, which are long and can be sliced, grabbed a bag of rolls from the freezer, and turned out quite a nice dinner for them. I soaked the meat in beer to tenderize it and infuse it with flavor. That’s a great trick. Adding sliced vegetables, sautéed onions , and assorted condiments (bbq sauce, grainy mustard) in little bowls can really up this presentation. Turning the rolls into easy garlic bread was a delicious enhancer. I served the steak and bread directly on the cutting board and the kids assembled their own sandwiches. Some moms still call me asking me what on earth I served that day/can we please have the recipe. Moms, this non recipe is for you! 
 

You’ll need:

Skirt steak, amount depends on size of crowd. I ask my butcher for lean skirt steak to eliminate the tough fat. He usually sends me a pound in one pack. The steaks are long. I think I’d a lot one pack to two people. You can definitely use extra slices of steak the next day in a stir fry with vegetables.

Bread rolls. I like pretzel challah rolls but any soft roll will do. I find the harder ones awkward to eat.

Garlic powder

A can or bottle of beer

Bbq seasoning

Oregano

Directions:
 Place steak in an aluminum pan and putt the beer over it to coat bottom of pan and halfway up the meat. Sprinkle the upside with salt, pepper, garlic powder and your favorite bbq seasoning. Let sit 20 min. Turn meat over then do the same thing. Now both sides get the chance to marinate with the dry and wet. Slice the rolls in half. Place cut side up in a pan. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with a little garlic powder but more oregano.

Grill the steak on a very hot grill or stove top grill pan, flipping once during cooking. You’ll of course want your grill marks. Let steak rest covered tightly for five minutes. Red meat always has to rest to retain its juices. While the meat is resting, toast your garlic bread until light brown. Serve with the sliced skirt steak, bbq sauce for dipping, and any other accompaniments your peeps will like. Pickles, a variety of sauces, sautéed onions and mushrooms in cute bowls. You’ll be a kitchen rockstar and they’ll never know how easy it was.
