Tank Cooks Skirt Steak

Directions: 

  1. Cut the steak: If the skirt steak comes in a long strip, cut it into 2 or 3 smaller pieces, 5 to 7 inches in length. This will allow them to fit better in the pan and make them easier to slice later. 
  2. Dry and season the steak: Thoroughly pat steaks dry with paper towels on each side. The surface should be very dry to help brown the surface of the meat. Generously season each side of the steaks with salt and pepper. 
  3. Heat the pan: Heat a large 12-inch cast iron skillet over high heat for 3 minutes. Once hot, add the olive oil. 
  4. Cook the steak: Use tongs to carefully add the steak to the pan, then press down firmly on the surface a few times for more contact. Sear the first side until browned, about 2 to 4 minutes, depending on the thickness of the meat. Flip and cook another 2 to 4 minutes. For medium rare doneness, cook steak until it reaches an internal temperature of 130°F. Work in 2 batches if needed. 
  5. Rest the steak: Transfer steak to a cutting board, loosely cover with foil, and allow to rest for 10 minutes before slicing. 
  6. Add butter and garlic to the pan to make garlic butter sauce. 
  7. Slice and serve the steak: Hold the carving knife at a 45-degree angle, and then slice the steak across the grain, about 1/4-inch thick slices. Serve on a toasted roll with garlic butter sauce. 
  • Rare: 125°F

  • Medium: 145°F 
  • Medium Well: 155°F
  •  Well Done: DON'T  EVEN BOTHER. YOU MUST HATE STEAK.
