Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 to 3-pound skirt steak
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 large sweet onion, very thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 2 dried ancho peppers, seeded and stemmed
  • 1 1/2 cups chicken stock
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • Extra-virgin olive oil

Directions

Put steaks out of the refrigerator to take off the chill.

Heat a medium skillet over medium heat, and add the butter. When the butter has melted add the onions and cook until caramel in color, about 20 minutes. Stir in the Worcestershire sauce and tomato paste. Reduce the heat and simmer for 5 minutes.

Put the anchos in small sauce pot with the stock and bring to a boil over medium heat. Turn off the heat and allow the anchos to steep for 5 minutes. Alternatively, put the anchos and stock in a microwave-safe bowl, covered with plastic wrap, and cook in the microwave for 2 to 3 minutes.

Heat a grill pan or grill to high.

Put the anchos and onions in a food processor. Turn the processor on and season with salt and pepper, to taste.

Season meat with salt and pepper, to taste, and drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil. Grill over high heat 5 to 6 minutes total, turning once, for rare. Remove the steak to a cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes. Thinly slice the steak and arrange on a serving platter. Serve with lots of steak sauce poured over top.

    My family and I thought this was very tasty; a very nice combination of spicy and smoky flavor. I followed the ingredients and directions to a T as I do whenever I cook something for the first time. The sauce was a little spicy, but it was a slow building spice that was not overpowering whatsoever. The sauce was relatively easy and quick to make. If I had to be picky I would say that the sauce came out a bit thicker than I expected it to be, but this wasn't a real issue.

    This was disappointing. The sauce is quite a lot of work (get out that food processor; clean it up, but it's really pretty blaw. Doesn't add much to the steak. I thought the steak was better without the sauce. I won't make it again.

    I couldn't find ancho peppers, so I substituted chipotle peppers in adobo sauce for the peppers and tomato paste. We loved it. I normally have difficulty grilling steaks, but I found this to be perfectly done for me. Also added garlic to the onions. Yum!
