Grilled Skirt SteakRomulo Yanes

In true Argentine and Uruguayan fashion, the steak is simply seasoned with salt and pepper, so the quality of the ingredients is particularly important. This is a well-marbled cut, which makes for a juicy and full-flavored grilled steak.

Cooks' notes:

· Steaks can be grilled in a hot lightly oiled well-seasoned large (2-burner) ridged grill pan in batches over moderately high heat. · If your sea salt is very coarse, lightly crush it with a mortar and pestle or the side of a large heavy knife.
