    YUM!!!! I didn't have fennel seed, so I used anise seed which is a bit different. The dish was YUMMY! I used red wine (negromaro from Puglia to deglaze the pan, and poured the drippings over simply "boiled" white rice. Also, I used a bit of fresh basil ribbons instead of dried oregano to flavor the feta. The entire flavor combo was SUCH A TREAT! All so easy and quick!

    I made this recipe tonight and both I enjoyed it as well as my dinner guests. I served it with the potato cake and roasted asparagus. I thought the vinagrette played very nicely with the rosemary and fennel. Absolutely delicious and will definitely make it again! Plus it was real easy to make!

    I have tried this recipe two times.I saw Alex make it on tv, and I noticed that she diced the feta into little cubes instead of crumbling it as the recipe says- I used the diced method and that worked well for me, though the flavor's the same either way.
    The combination of the very lightly sweet marinade and salty feta was pleasant, and it is really easy to make.
    Not an incredible recipe, but good flavor and simple. I'll continue to make it regularly.

    I agree with the other reviewer that we should see more of Alex on the Food Network.

    I'm a good cook - not a chef....had reservations about this recipe, but tried it anyway...(I thought the feta would overwhelm the steak and I was correct - the flavor of the meat was totally lost - all you could taste was the feta...and I cut the feta vinegarette in half - I would not make this again. Also, skirt steak is not a "econemy" cut....costs about the same as a Porterhouse per pound.

    Alex the skirt steaks were not on sale however, thick cut pork chop were and that's what I used. Talk about good eating, we wanted to ***** the plates. Along with the potatoes cake and the sweet potates we barely could get up from the table. I will try the bake apples another time. Thanks for all the wonderful recipes...

    This is so delicious. Everything Alex cooks is so good. Why is she not on our primetime? You keep taking the best chefs off and putting the amateurs like Melissa d'A on. WHY?????

    Very tasty & as tender as skirt steak gets. The browning/ marinade/browning was something new to me. I was tempted to change the spices around a bit, but I made it as the recipe calls for. Great! My only question; who thinks skirt steak is still budget friendly?
