Korean-Style Marinated Skirt Steak

Easy-cooking skirt steak is full of flavor



by Richard Chamberlain



I like to sear this steak, but it's equally delicious grilled; just be sure to oil the grill first so the meat

doesn't stick.



Serves four.



2 Tbs. sugar

3 Tbs. soy sauce

2 tsp. sake (optional)

4 large cloves garlic, finely chopped

5 scallions (white part only), minced

2 tsp. finely chopped fresh ginger

2 tsp. toasted sesame oil

1 lb. skirt steak, trimmed and cut into four portions

2 tsp. vegetable oil

Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste



Combine the sugar, soy sauce, sake, garlic, scallions, ginger, and sesame oil in a medium-size

flat dish or a zip-top bag, stirring to make sure the sugar is dissolved. Cover the steaks with plastic

wrap and gently pound them 1/4 inch thick with the flat side of a meat mallet. Add them to the

marinade and let them sit for 20 min., covered, turning them once after 10 min. Coat a large skillet

with the vegetable oil and set it over high heat until the oil is just barely smoking. Sprinkle both

sides of the meat with salt and pepper, add the meat to the pan, lower the heat slightly, and sear

the steaks (in batches if necessary) for 2 to 3 min. on each side for medium rare. The steaks

should be very rosy pink. Transfer them to a cutting board, tent with foil, and let rest for 3 min. Cut

the steaks into 1/4-inch-thick slices and serve.
