Skirt Steak with Paprika Butter (food and wine mag)

Category: Beef

Skirt steak is just fatty enough annd cooks quickly, which is great for dinner parties. Serve with a lightly smoky, tangy paprika butter.

6 Tbsp unsalted butter
6 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1 1/2 tsp smoked hot paprika
2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
salt
5 lbs skirt steaks
vegetable oil for rubbing
freshly ground pepper

Light a grill or heat a grill pan. In a small saucepan, melt the butter. Add the garlic and cook over low heat, stirring until golden, about 3 minutes. Add the paprika and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Remove from the heat, stir in the lemon juice and season with salt; keep warm.
Rub the skirt steak with oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill over high heat until nicely charred and medium-rare, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer the steaks to a cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes. Thinly slice the steaks across the grain. Spoon the paprika butter over the steak and serve right away.
