Cuisine: Mexican
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
  • 2 tablespoons oil, plus additional for the meat
  • 2 dried ancho chiles
  • ¼ cup light brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons chopped Mexican chocolate (or good dairy-free dark chocolate)
  • Salt (about ¾ teaspoon, divided, or as desired)
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 4 shallots, minced
  • 1 pound skirt steak
Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F.
  2. Heat the 2 tablespoons oil in a deep sauté pan. Add chiles and fry for 30 seconds each. Remove and place on paper towels to drain.
  3. When the chiles are slightly cooled, place them in your blender. With the blender running, slowly pour in the oil used for frying in a steady stream. Add the brown sugar, chocolate, and salt (about ¼ teaspoon). The mixture should be fairly coarse.
  4. In a small bowl, stir together the garlic, shallots, salt (about ½ teaspoon), pepper, and just enough olive oil to barely cover meat. Rub the mixture over skirt steak.
  5. In a heavy skillet or saucepan over high heat, sear or grill the skirt steak for 10 minutes, turning frequently. Let cool.
  6. Cover the steak with the chile mixture.
  7. Place the steak in oven and finish cooking for 5 to 7 minutes.
  8. Remove the steak from the oven, and let it rest for 10 minutes. Slice and serve with fresh, seasonal vegetables and tortillas.
