Skirt Steak With Chipotle Spice Rub Recipes

• For the rub: In a small bowl, add the garlic, chile powder, salt, and cumin. Rub the spice mixture over the entire skirt steak and let sit for 25 to 30 minutes in a dish or a re-sealable bag. For the sauce: Meanwhile, in a medium sized saucepan, melt the butter and saute the onion until fragrant and translucent. Deglaze with beef broth and bring to a simmer. Stir in the remaining ingredients and cook for 15 minutes over medium heat until sauce has thickened. For the steak: Preheat a grill pan over high heat. Place the steak on the grill and cook for 4 to 5 minutes per side for medium-rare. Pull off the grill and glaze with BBQ sauce before resting for 5 minutes. Slice skirt steak against the grain and serve with extra BBQ sauce.

Steps:

• In a small heavy skillet dry-roast oregano over moderate heat, shaking skillet occasionally, until fragrant and beginning to brown, about 2 minutes, and transfer to a small bowl. Cool oregano completely and in an electric coffee/spice grinder grind fine.
• In a heavy skillet heat oil over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking and, using tongs, fry chiles, 1 to 2 at a time, turning them, until puffed and just beginning to brown, about 10 seconds. (Do not let chiles burn or rub will be bitter.) Transfer chiles as fried to paper towels to drain and cool until crisp.
• Wearing rubber gloves, break chiles into pieces and in coffee/spice grinder grind fine in batches. In a food processor grind oregano and chiles with garlic and salt until mixture is a shaggy, saltlike consistency. If mixture seems moist, on a large baking sheet spread it into a thin, even layer and dry in middle of an oven set at lowest temperature until no longer moist, about 1 hour. Wearing rubber gloves, break up any lumps with your fingers. (Chipotle rub keeps in an airtight container, chilled, 6 months. Regrind rub before using.)
