Grilled Herb Skirt Steak With Lemon-Feta Potatoes
Grilled Herb Skirt Steak With Lemon-Fet It is perfect for The Fourth Of July. From preparation to the plate, this recipe takes roughly 45 minutes.
Instructions
Place skirt steak in a large resealable plastic bag.
Add red wine vinegar, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 3 cloves smashed garlic, 2 teaspoons oregano, 1 teaspoon thyme, mint, 2 tablespoons olive oil, red pepper flakes, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Seal, squish around to combine, and place in the refrigerator to marinate for 4 to 12 hours.
Adjust oven rack to upper-middle position and preheat oven to 400°F.
Place potatoes in an oven-safe baking pan. Mince remaining 2 cloves garlic and add to potatoes along with remaining 2 1/2 tablespoons olive oil, remaining lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon oregano, 1 teaspoon thyme, wine, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Stir to combine and place in oven to roast.
After the potatoes have been cooking for about 15 minutes, light one chimney full of charcoal. When all the charcoal is lit and covered with gray ash, pour out and spread the coals evenly over entire surface of coal grate. Set cooking grate in place, cover gill and allow to preheat for 5 minutes. Clean and oil the grilling grate. Grill steak over high heat until deeply browned on both sides, 3 to 5 minutes per side.
Remove to a cutting board and let rest for 10 minutes.
Remove potatoes from the oven and toss with feta. Taste and adjust seasoning, if necessary. Slice meat against the grain into 1/4-inch strips and serve immediately with potatoes.
Recommended wine: Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir
Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Pinot Noir are my top picks for Steak. After all, beef and red wine are a classic combination. Generally, leaner steaks go well with light or medium-bodied reds, such as pinot noir or merlot, while fattier steaks can handle a bold red, such as cabernet sauvingnon. The Four Brix Winery Paso Robles Sangiovese, Cab, Merlot "Scosso" Blend with a 5 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 40 dollars per bottle.

Four Brix Winery Paso Robles Sangiovese, Cab, Merlot "Scosso" Blend
A Californian "Super Tuscan" of Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Merlot is a full-gallup ride for the senses. Concentrated aroma of raspberries and blackberries with tobacco and spice give a warm bold nose to this blend. Raspberry and espresso on the palate are balanced by full tannins and rounded by hints of pepper and vanilla with a sweet berry finish.
