Grilled Korean Skirt Steak



Grilling season is in full swing and I love the smell of burning lump hardwood charcoal in the evening! And this is my kind of meal...the entree and sides are all cooked on the grill.


Ingredients
2 pounds skirt steak, cut crosswise into 4-inch pieces
3 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds
4 cloves garlic, smashed
1 cup of cola (not diet)
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup dark brown sugar
1/4 cup toasted sesame oil
Kosher salt and fresh cracked pepper
1 large white onion, cut into 2-inch-thick wedges
3 banana or Cubanelle peppers


Directions
  1. Pierce the steak a few times with a fork. Combine the sesame seeds, garlic, cola, soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a large bowl, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Add the steak and onion wedges, turning to coat. Cover and refrigerate 4 hours or overnight.
  2. Prepare grill for direct cooking over high heat. Remove the steak and onion wedges from the marinade with a slotted spoon and transfer to a baking sheet. Grill the onion wedges and peppers, turning, until charred, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a platter. Grill the steak until charred, 4 minutes per side for medium rare. Add to the platter. Serve.




Wine pairing: Sauvignon Blanc for white wine lovers.
 A big, fruity Zinfandel if you prefer reds.
