I apologize for not participating enough lately. Scarce is an understatement if any of you know me from another site where I have been a prolific poster in the past.
Tonight I have made time to do this post because I am really feeling that I need to share the following since I have been a "taker" for so long.
Time to give back a little.
Now that my apologies are out of the way, here it goes.
Churrasco as I know it from Puerto Rico, where my job takes me quite often is a real treat!
I begged a waiter for several years for the recipe for their churrasco at Mike's Steakhouse in San German, P.R. but he did not feel he was authorized to divulge the recipe.
This past year I sought out the cook and asked him for the recipe and he obliged!
My problem has been that beef skirt has not be available in my small town. Today I found some skirt in a neighboring town and made a purchase. Cooked it tonight on a (hate to disclose the fact) 10" black skillet on stove top in the kitchen.
You must try this Recipe! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
1) Thinly slice skirt steak entire length into two halves as you would a biscuit or English muffin.
2) Place crushed fresh garlic over entire surface of all sides of steaks.
3) Sprinkle a dash of red wine vinegar.
4) Add a bit of soy sauce to steak.
5) Apply some vegetable oil to all steak surface.
6) Just a little bit of kosher salt and finely ground peppercorns.
7) Just a very little garlic powder.
6) Let it all marinate; on counter top is good enough.
7) Get a black skillet good and hot with some vegetable oil and soy sauce.
Drop you steaks onto hot skillet and cook to desired doneness (med/rare works for me)
Here is the crazy part: a) oven cooked French Fries, b) sweet tea.
Enjoy and encourage others to try!
