Skirt Steak with Chermoula
Chermoula is a non-spicy Moroccan salsa-like dish. It is great on beef or lamb but can also be used as a marinade for fish or chicken.
INGREDIENTS | SERVES 4
1½ pounds skirt steak
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Pinch salt
Pinch pepper
1 small onion, diced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 cup parsley, chopped
½ cup cilantro, chopped
1 teaspoon ground cumin
Juice from 3 lemons, zest from 1
¼ teaspoon cayenne
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
½ teaspoon smoked paprika
Trim off any membrane or extra fat from the beef. Brush the meat with vegetable oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Let it sit at room temperature for 30–60 minutes.
To make the chermoula, combine the remaining ingredients in a small bowl.
Place a grill pan over medium-high heat. Once it's heated, cook the meat for 3–5 minutes on each side. Let rest for 10 minutes before serving.
Slice the steak in thin slices on an angle and place them over steamed white rice and top with the chermoula. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
