Spicy Skirt Steak
- 1 or 2 skirt steaks (1 to 1 1/2 pounds total)
- 2 sprigs of fresh thyme
- 1 tablespoon dry sherry
- 1 tablespoon sherry vinegar
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 canned chipotle chili pepper plus 1 teaspoon of the juice
- 1/4 cup dry white wine
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- Salt, to taste
- Pat the steak or steaks dry; cut in half crosswise, and place in a nonreactive dish or gallon-size Ziploc plastic bag.
- Combine the thyme, sherry, vinegar, lemon juice, cumin, chili powder, chipotle pepper and juice, wine, and oil in a blender or food processor and blend to puree.
- Pour over the steak and cover the pan or seal the bag.
- Refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight.
- Remove the steak from the refrigerator and allow it to come to room temperature.
- Preheat the broiler or prepare coals for grilling.
- Broil or grill the steak until seared and nicely browned on one side, about 3 minutes.
- Turn and cook for 2 1/2 minutes more for medium-rare or 3 minutes for medium.
- Transfer the steak to a cutting board, cover loosely with aluminum foil, and let rest for 5 minutes.
- Cut the meat on the bias across the grain into 1/4-inch-thick slices.
- The meat will look rarer than it is.
- Sprinkle with salt before serving.
