Skirt Steak with Shallots
- 1 tablespoon canola oil, plus more if needed
- 1 1/2 pounds skirt steak
- Coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 shallots, peeled and thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
- 1/4 cup dry red wine
- To cook the steak, in a heavy-duty skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
- Season the steaks with salt and pepper.
- Add the meat to the skillet without crowding, in batches, if necessary, and cook on both sides until well browned and medium-rare, about 3 minutes per side.
- Transfer to a warm plate and cover loosely with aluminum foil to keep warm while preparing the sauce.
- To prepare the sauce, return the pan to the cooktop over medium heat.
- Add 1 tablespoon of the butter and the shallots.
- Cook until the shallots are soft and translucent, 3 to 5 minutes.
- Add the vinegar and stir to combine.
- Cook until the vinegar evaporates, 30 to 45 seconds.
- Add the red wine and cook until reduced by half, 1 to 2 minutes.
- Remove the pan from the heat and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter; swirl to coat.
- Taste and adjust for seasoning with salt and pepper.
- To serve, slice the steak into thin strips against the grain.
- Overlap the slices on a plate and pour over the red wine glaze.
