Ingredients
Method
Techniques
  • skirt steak
Cut the skirt steak into four or five inch sections so the cooked pieces can be sliced across the grain into fry-sized strips.
  • 6–8 cloves crushed garlic
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • freshly ground black pepper
  • cayenne
  • white vinegar
  • vegetable oil
Whisk crushed garlic, kosher salt, black pepper, cayenne, white vinegar and vegetable oil; toss the steak in it, wrap and marinate in the fridge at least two hours, ideally overnight.
Scrape the excess garlic off the meat and reserve it in the fridge for the garlic butter.
  • 1 bag frozen crinkle cut fries
Spread a two pound bag of frozen crinkle cut fries on a foil lined sheet pan and bake about 10 minutes longer than the package directions until crispy; return to the oven about 10 minutes just before serving.
  • diced onion
  • pepper
  • olive oil
  • salt
  • 1 tbsp vinegar
Cook diced onion and pepper in olive oil with a pinch of salt in a skillet over high heat, stirring a couple of minutes until they color, sweeten and soften; transfer to a bowl and stir in about a tablespoon of vinegar.
  • 2 tbsp butter
Melt a couple tablespoons of butter between medium and medium-high and cook the steak, turning the thinner pieces first at a couple of minutes per side; use the poke test, firm and springy for medium rare to medium.
Cooking the skirt steak in butter
  • unsalted butter
Rest the steak; lower the heat, sizzle the reserved garlic about 30 seconds, add another chunk of butter and a pinch of salt and stir until melted.
  • heavy cream
  • cayenne
Bring heavy cream with a little cayenne and a pinch of salt to a boil over medium-high, whisk, and reduce one minute.
  • cheddar and pepper jack
Off the heat, whisk in cheddar and pepper jack until melted and emulsified; it thickens as it cools.
Slice the steak across the grain.
  • chopped Italian parsley
Pile hot fries in a bowl, top with steak, spoon over garlic butter, ladle on cheese sauce, add the pepper and onion relish and chopped parsley.
