Cuban Skirt Steak With a Pineapple Salsa
- 1 34 lbs skirt steaks
- 13 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons chili powder
- 1 tablespoon ground cumin
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 lime, cut in quarters
- 1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
- 12 cup fresh pineapple, diced (you can used canned drained well, if you can not get fresh)
- 1 jalapeno pepper, chopped fine (ribs and seeds removed, serrano will also work and if you want more heat, leave the seeds and ribs i)
- 14 cup red onion, diced fine
- 2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
- 2 tablespoons orange marmalade
- 1 teaspoon fresh cilantro
- 2 scallions, chopped fine
- Steak -- Mix all the ingredients in a large baggie and add the steak.
- Shake to mix well and then let it marinade.
- 3-4 hours is great, but 30 minutes will even work and give you some good flavor.
- The longer the better.
- Salsa -- In a small sauce pan over medium heat, add the black beans, pineapple, pepper, red onion and cook 4-5 minutes.
- Then add the orange marmalade and rice wine vinegar cook another minute or two and remove from the heat.
- Add to a small bowl and cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
- I like to serve it chilled, but you can also serve this warm right off the stove or even room temperature.
- Grill -- Now I like to use a grill pan or outdoor grill for this, but a broiler or large saute pan will work fine.
- If using a large saute pan, just cut the skirt steak into large pieces.
- The skirt steak doesn't take long.
- Just spray with some olive oil or Pam and season the steak with salt and pepper on each side.
- Grill until medium rare, for skirt steak.
- I do 125 and after it rests it will be right around 130 which is a perfect medium rare.
- It only takes 5 minutes or so per side.
- Serve -- I like to serve over some yellow rice, but you can use anything thing you like.
- Slice the steak (always on a angle against the grain) and then top with the fresh pineapple salsa.
- Garnish with the scallions and cilantro.
- Add with some great toasted bread or a small salad and you have a great dinner in no time.
