Grilled Skirt Steaks With Tomatillos Two Ways

• 4
• (dried smoked chiles), wiped clean
• 1 pound fresh tomatillos, husked and rinsed, then quartered
• 1 cup packed cilantro sprigs
• 2 garlic cloves
• 1 tablespoon packed dark brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon molasses (not blackstrap)
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1/3 cup vegetable oil
• 1/4 cup vegetable oil, divided
• 3/4 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 3/4 pounds skirt steak, halved
• 1/2 pound fresh tomatillos, husked and rinsed
• 1 cup cilantro leaves
• 2 teaspoons finely chopped shallot
• 2 teaspoons fresh lime juice

1. Slit chiles lengthwise, then stem and seed. Heat a dry heavy skillet (not nonstick) over medium heat until hot, then toast chiles, opened flat, turning and pressing with tongs, until more pliable and slightly changed in color, about 1 minute. Cover chiles with hot water in a bowl and soak until softened, about 20 minutes, then drain.
2. Puree chiles, tomatillos, cilantro, garlic, brown sugar, molasses, cumin, and 1 teaspoon salt in a blender until smooth, about 1 minute.
3. Heat oil in a 10-inch heavy skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers, then cook salsa (it will spatter), stirring occasionally, until slightly thicker, 5 to 8 minutes.
4. Prepare a grill for direct-heat cooking over hot charcoal (high heat for gas); see
5. .
6. Whisk together 2 tablespoons oil, cumin, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and 1 tsp pepper, then coat steaks.
7. Oil grill rack, then grill steaks, covered only if using a gas grill, turning once, until grill marks appear, 4 to 6 minutes total for medium-rare. Let steaks rest on a cutting board, loosely covered with foil, 10 minutes.
8. Thinly slice tomatillos and toss with cilantro, shallot, lime juice, remaining 2 tablespoons oil, and salt and pepper to taste.
9. Cut steaks into serving pieces and top with salsa and salad.
