Skirt Steak & Broccolini Dinner

I want to introduce you to my Skirt Steak & Broccolini recipe. Sometimes it’s nice to have an easy dinner that looks like I cooked all day. However, easy dinners are usually fast-food and perhaps, not so health-minded. It’s hard to win in a corporate or full-time working world when it comes to health. However, there are some recipes I love to make that satisfy my lack of time and need for healthy wholesome foods. The biggest stress I have with my Skirt Steak & Broccolini recipe is how long it will take for my oven to heat up. Haha!

The first time I made this recipe, Rob was stressed over a grant (nothing new) and I had had a crazy day at work (also nothing new). I wanted something special. I wanted to sit down to a dinner that would help draw me out of my tired and overworked mindset to a moment of just living, enjoying and focusing on something other than the stresses of life. Enter my Skirt Steak & Broccoli!

How to have a delicious dinner in 30 minutes:

I have adjusted this recipe to suit my personal taste preference but you may prefer to add more oil or garlic. To each his own, right?

Prep Time 10 minutes

Cook Time 20 minutes

Total Time 30 minutes

Ingredients

• 1/2 lb Skirt steak
• 1 bunch Broccolini
• 1 tbsp Olive oil
• 2 tbsp Walnuts, chopped

Marinade (divided)

• 3 tbsp Balsamic vinegar
• 1 tbsp Olive oil
• 3/4 tbsp Dijon mustard
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1/4 tsp Himalayan salt
• 1/2 tsp Pepper

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 425F.

Marinade

1. Whisk together balsamic vinegar, 1 tbsp oil, mustard, garlic, salt and pepper. Reserve 2 tbsp.
2. Add marinade to skirt steak in freezer bag or bowl. Allow to marinade while you prep the broccolini.

Broccolini

1. Meanwhile, trim ends of broccolini and drizzle with 1 tbsp olive oil.
2. Place broccolini on foil lined baking sheet. Sprinkle with walnuts, salt and pepper (if desired). Bake 15 minutes.

Skirt Steak

1. While broccolini cooks in oven, remove steak from marinade and cook steak in large skillet over medium-high heat 3 minutes per side or until browned. I prefer my steak to be well done so I prefer 7 minutes per side. Flip once during cooking.

Plating

1. Remove broccolini from oven and divide between serving plates.
2. Top with skirt steak, thinly sliced across the grain.
3. Drizzle with skirt steak juices and reserved marinade.
4. Sprinkle with the walnuts cooked alongside the broccolini.
