Grilled Skirt Steak with Onion Marinade

By lorik

Ingredients

• 1/2 small red onion, chopped
• 2 garlic cloves, crushed
• 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for grilling
• Kosher salt
• Freshly ground pepper
• 2 pounds skirt steak, cut into 3 equal pieces

Preparation

Step 1

MARINATE THE STEAK
In a blender, combine the onion, garlic, 1/2 cup of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of water and season with salt and pepper. Puree until smooth, then pour into a large resealable plastic bag. Add the steak, seal the bag and rub the steak with the marinade. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.

Light a grill and oil the grate. Remove the steak from the marinade and season with salt and pepper. Grill over moderately high heat until lightly charred outside and medium-rare within, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer the steak to a cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes. Thinly slice the steak across the grain.
