Brown Sugar Skirt Steak with Succotash
- 1/4 cup dark brown sugar
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 pound skirt steak, trimmed and cut into 4 portions
- 2 medium red tomatoes (about 1 pound), cut into 1/2-inch-thick wedges
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/4 teaspoon cumin
- Zest and juice of 1 lime
- 2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for oiling the grill grates
- 4 ears yellow corn, shucked
- 1 large red onion (about 8 ounces), sliced into 1/2-inch rounds
- One 15-ounce can black-eyed peas, drained and rinsed
- 1/2 cup roughly chopped fresh parsley or cilantro
- Prepare a grill or large grill pan for medium-high heat.
- Mix the brown sugar, 1 tablespoon salt and 2 teaspoons pepper together in a small bowl.
- Rub the mixture into the steaks and set aside for 15 minutes.
- Put the tomatoes in a large mixing bowl.
- Sprinkle with salt and pepper and let sit at room temperature while you prepare the rest of the ingredients.
- Whisk together the sour cream, cumin, lime zest and juice and a pinch of salt and pepper in a small bowl and set aside.
- Meanwhile, lightly oil the grill grates.
- Brush the corn and onions liberally with the oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper and put on the grill.
- Grill the corn until lightly charred, turning the ears occasionally, and the onions until charred and tender, flipping as needed, 6 to 8 minutes for both.
- Transfer the vegetables to a cutting board to cool slightly.
- Grill the steaks until crisp, about 4 minutes per side for medium rare.
- Set aside to rest for 5 minutes.
- While the steaks rest, cut the corn away from the cobs and quarter the onion rounds.
- Add the corn, onions, black-eyed peas and half of the parsley to the bowl with the tomatoes and toss gently to combine.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- Slice the steaks across the grain and divide among 4 plates.
- Divide the succotash among the plates, top with a dollop of the reserved sour cream mixture and garnish with the remaining parsley or cilantro.
- Serve immediately.
