We recently had a get together to cook out for some friends and family. The menu was none other than beef and anyone who knows my husband knows that is pretty much what he serves whenever he cooks. The guy loves beef so a Mediterranean Grilled Beef Recipe was right up his alley.

In true Jason style…let's just say that my husband has never met a recipe that he followed exactly. He looks at recipes as vague guidelines, and he always asks “himself how can I grill this”?

So I found this recipe on the beef website for Mediterranean Braised Beef. He thought that the flavors would be perfect and since the recipe wasn't quite right for grilling out, he made a few changes. So with that, we present our Mediterranean Grilled Beef recipe.

Mediterranean Grilled Beef

Ingredients

Directions

  1. In a medium saute pan, heat the olive oil over a low flame. Add the onion, shallot, and dates to the pan. Cook until the onion becomes soft and translucent. Remove the pan from the flame and add he balsamic vinegar and 1/4 cup of water. Set aside and cool.
  2. Pierce the skirt steak with a fork multiple times. Season with salt and pepper, rubbing it in, and then bathe the meat in the balsamic and date mixture. Allow the meat to marinate for 3-4 hours.
  3. Prepare your grill; you want nice hot coals.
  4. Remove the skirt steak from the marinade and lightly dust with flour. Grill the steak to your preferred temperature. Personally, I find that around 4 minutes per side is perfect (mid-rare).
  5. Carve steak and serve. One important note here though. Skirt steak, just like flank steak, has a grain. Always, I mean always, cut across the grain. If you cut with the grain you end up with chewy steak, but when you cut across? That steak will melt in your mouth.
