Ingredients
  

For the Skirt Steak
  • 1 lb skirt steak season generously with salt and pepper
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil for searing the steak
For the Garlic Blistered Tomatoes
  • 2 cups cherry tomatoes
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon fresh basil, chopped
For Serving
  • 1 ball creamy burrata cheese for topping
  • Fresh basil leaves for garnish (optional)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Season the skirt steak generously with salt and pepper on both sides and let it sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes.
Cooking the Steak
  1. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add the steak.
  2. Sear the steak for about 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, adjusting based on your desired doneness. Remove from skillet and let it rest.
Blistering the Tomatoes
  1. In the same skillet, add the cherry tomatoes and minced garlic and sauté for about 5-6 minutes until blistered.
  2. Stir in the balsamic vinegar and chopped basil at the end.
Plating
  1. Slice the skirt steak against the grain and arrange the pieces on a serving platter.
  2. Top with the blistered tomatoes and place the burrata in the center. Drizzle with extra olive oil and garnish with fresh basil if desired.
Serving
  1. Serve immediately and enjoy with family or friends!

Notes

Allowing the steak to rest helps retain juices. If tomatoes aren’t bursting easily, cook longer. Feel free to use more burrata if desired.
