Grilled Skirt Steak with Sauce au Chien
- 1 tablespoon peeled and slivered or minced garlic
- 6 scallions, trimmed and minced
- 1 jalapeno or habanero (Scotch bonnet) chile, stemmed, seeded, and minced, or chili paste or hot red pepper flakes to taste (start with about 1/2 teaspoon)
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice, or to taste
- 1 tablespoon peanut or neutral oil, like corn or grapeseed
- 1 1/2 to 2 pounds skirt, sirloin (New York) strip, or ribeye steak
- Juice of 1 lime
- Start a charcoal or gas grill or preheat the broiler; the fire should be moderately hot and the rack about 4 inches from the heat source.
- Meanwhile, prepare the sauce: Combine the garlic, scallions, chile, 1/2 teaspoon each of salt and pepper, the allspice, and the oil in a small bowl.
- Add 1/2 cup boiling water; stir and let sit.
- Sprinkle the meat with salt and pepper and grill or broil it, 3 or 4 minutes per side for skirt steak, somewhat longer for sirloin or ribeye, turning 2 or 3 times, until cooked through, about 15 minutes.
- Taste the sauce and add more chile, salt, pepper, or allspice if needed.
- Stir in the lime juice.
- Serve the meat hot or at room temperature, passing the sauce at the table.
