Equipment
- Cast iron skillet
- baking sheet
- oven
- Bowl
- Tongs or spatula
- Small saucepan (optional, for dip)
- Spoon (for scooping bone marrow)
Ingredients
- 1 lb Skirt steak
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 1/2 cup Water
- 2 tablespoons coffee grounds fresh or used
- 4 tablespoons butter divided
- 2 bone marrow bones split lengthwise
- 1/4 cup bone broth
- Smoked salt to taste
- Salt to taste (use Redmond salt for extra flavor)
- 1 teaspoon gelatin powder optional, for extra richness
Instructions
Tenderize the Skirt Steak:
- In a bowl, mix 1 teaspoon of baking soda with 1/2 cup of water.
- Submerge the skirt steak in this tenderizing solution and let it sit for 15-20 minutes to break down the fibers.
- After 10 minutes, sprinkle 2 tablespoons of coffee grounds evenly over the steak. Let the steak sit for the remaining time.
- After 20 minutes, rinse the steak thoroughly under cold water to remove the baking soda and coffee grounds. Pat dry with paper towels.
- Let steak rest for 5 minutes and rub with smoked salt
Roast the Bone Marrow:
- While the steak is tenderizing, preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Place the bone marrow bones on a baking sheet, marrow side up. Roast for about 15-20 minutes, until the marrow is soft and bubbly but not completely melted.
- Once done, scoop out the marrow and set aside in a small bowl.
Sear the Steak:
- Heat a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons of butter.
- Once the butter is hot and foamy, sear the skirt steak for about 3 minutes on each side, or until a crust forms.
- Remove the steak from the pan and let it rest.
Prepare the Bone Marrow Butter Dip:
- In the same skillet, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and the roasted bone marrow.
- Stir in 1/4 cup of bone broth and whisk in 1 teaspoon of gelatin powder (optional) for extra thickness.
- Season the mixture with smoked salt to taste.
- Pour the bone marrow butter sauce into a small dish for dipping.
Finish the Steak:
- Slice the skirt steak against the grain and serve alongside the bone marrow butter dip for a rich, decadent flavor experience.
