Garlic Skirt Steak - the most flavorful and tender steak we've ever eaten! If you aren't eating skirt steak you are missing out!!! It is the BEST!!! Only 4 ingredients in this recipe - skirt steak, oil, garlic and steak seasoning. Great as a main dish or in fajitas!
On our recent visit to Atlanta, we ate at Fogo de Chao. This was my first experience at Fogo de Chao and it was crazy good. I have never seen so much food in my life! You just turn your card to green and you are bombarded with gauchos offering you all the meat your heart desires. I barely had time to take a bite before another gaucho was at the table with another delicious offering. I had two favorites - the garlic beef and the parmesan pork. Chicken Legs loved it all!
This is our take on the garlic beef. We used skirt steak because we love it and had some in the freezer. Fogo de Chao uses Picanha (Top Sirloin) and it is fantastic. We served the beef with a side of pan seared polenta like we had at the restaurant. *I like polenta - who knew?!* I was also going to make pão de queijo (warm cheese bread), but I couldn't find tapioca flour at Whole Foods. I ordered some from King Arthur Flour - hopefully it will be here for our parmesan pork recreation this weekend! I ended up making some other cheesy muffins to go in their place. They were fabulous!
We loved our take on the Garlic Beef, and this might be our "go-to" skirt steak from this point forward. See, skirt steak isn't just for fajitas!
Cut skirt steak into two equal pieces.
Combine olive oil, garlic and seasoning in the food processor or blender and pulse until combined. Pour marinade over steak and marinate in the refrigerator overnight.
Grill for 3 minutes on each side, or to desired doneness. Slice skirt steak against the grain and enjoy!
Your steak sure do look and sound good. We ate at one of the Brazilian steakhouses several years ago in Aruba and it was certainly a carnivors delight - we loved it.
Sounds like a place The Cajun would LOVE!!
Aren't those skirt steak looks really awesome! I like your idea of serving them with grilled polenta or garlic bread.
This is so making me not want my leftovers for lunch.
Gotta try this garlic steak. We used to have a restaurant like that in Denver, called Rodizio Grill. I miss that place.
