"Serves six to eight. from Fine Cooking For the best flavor and tenderness, cook these steaks to medium rare or just barely medium. Thinner skirt steaks will cook more quickly. If you can’t grill these steaks, sear-roast them"

ingredients

4 lbs skirt steaks or 4 lbs flank steaks
12 garlic cloves
4 fresh sprigs rosemary (5-inch, each)
16 sprigs fresh thyme
1 tablespoon freshly cracked black pepper
extra-virgin olive oil
sea salt

directions

Smash the garlic cloves with the flat part of a heavy knife and then peel the cloves.
Crush and tear the rosemary sprigs with your hands to release their perfume.
In a medium-large bowl, combine the steaks with the herbs, garlic, pepper, and 6 Tbs. olive oil. Toss to coat well.
Cover and refrigerate for one to two days.
Take the steaks out of the refrigerator 30 minutes before grilling and brush off the herb sprigs and garlic.
Prepare a medium-hot gas or charcoal grill fire.
Season the steaks with salt.
Oil the grill and then grill the steaks for 2 to 3 minutes on each side for medium rare (thicker steaks will be medium rare after 3 to 5 minutes per side).
Let rest for 10 minutes on a clean cutting board before slicing thinly across the grain.

I'm a WAHM of 2. I paint and sell my original shabby and primitive signs in my online stores called the Shabby Sign Shoppe. Keeps me busy and helps keep the roof over our heads, but takes away from two favorite pastimes--cooking and working in the yard. To be in the kitchen uninterrupted is my form of relaxation and I try to get in there and cook at least 2-3 good meals a week. I'm trying to get healthier with cooking, but it is so hard with all these amazing Food.com recipes shouting Make Me, Make Me. I discovered Recipezaar in 2002. I tell EVERYONE about it and it's definately my go-to recipe site. Other sites pale in comparison. Whenever I search for a recipe, Recipezaar never lets me down. I typically ONLY try 5 star recipes, but sometimes will try unrated ones if I am feeling frisky and the recipe is from a chef I'm familar with. Kittencal, MizzNezz and Wildflour are 3 of my favorites. Diehard foodies tend to annoy. I should know because I used to be one! Culinary school will do that to you, but it's just not living in the real world.
