Really simple and really fantastic. That's all I have to say. My husband would be happy if I stayed a woman of such few words for a while but that's never going to happen, nope never! LOL!
1 1/2 pounds skirt steaks, pounded thin; cut into 4 pieces
olive oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
3 zucchini, cut into half-moons
salt and pepper
3/4 cup balsamic vinegar
In a large skillet, on medium-high, heat about 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Add the garlic and zucchini, season with salt and pepper, and sauté until zucchini is browned in spots and just softened, about 6-8 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.
Add remaining tablespoon oil to skillet. Season steak with salt and pepper and cook until browned, turn steaks over and cook to desired doneness. Transfer to a plate.
Add remaining tablespoon oil to skillet. Season steak with salt and pepper and cook until browned, turn steaks over and cook to desired doneness. Transfer to a plate.
Drain the fat from the skillet, then add the vinegar, salt and pepper, to taste. Cook, stirring, until reduced by about half, about 2-3 minutes. Add the steak to the pan for another minute to heat through. Serve the steak along with the zucchini. Drizzle the steak with more sauce and serve.

Balsamic vinegar adds such a simple, yet complex, flavor. I love it in every recipe I've tried it in!
ReplyDeleteI know I would LOVE this marinade. It looks wonderful.
ReplyDeleteThat sure does sound tasty, it's about dinner time here:@)
ReplyDeleteI, for one, like your words! :)
ReplyDeleteBut you didn't need too many for this dish. Rich and dark with flavor. Looks great!
Sometimes (especially on Firdays) I really like a good juicy stake! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for suggesting tomorrow's dinner!
ReplyDeleteMy husband would love this, easy meals are the best.
ReplyDeleteIt looks so good I can almost smell and taste it through the screen!
ReplyDeleteSounds very tasty!! I love balsamic vinegar and garlic!!
ReplyDeleteHow perfect for a fall evening. This looks and sounds delicious.
ReplyDeleteKeep the words coming! I would think there was something wrong otherwise ;)
ReplyDeleteThis looks fantastic, Carol, and nice to have a recipe to make indoors when the weather gets cold (too soon here!).
This looks so very flavourful with balsamic.
ReplyDeleteSounds super delish!

Sounds like a great meal!
ReplyDeleteSounds delicious....my husband would love it! Thanks for sharing this Carol!
ReplyDeleteSometimes you just don't have to say more! This looks wonderful.
ReplyDeleteI don't think I have ever had skirt steak.
ReplyDeleteTry it if you get the chance, has a lot of flavor. And it's a pretty versatile cut of meat.
Deleteyet another recipe of yours pinned!
ReplyDeleteIt's been ages since I went veggie, but does the acidity in the balsamic vinegar help tenderise the meat? I was just wondering :) Also, love that pile of zucchini. You can't ever go wrong with zucchini :D
ReplyDeleteIt did I suppose. Skirt steak is a pretty tough meat compared to some, but has all the flavor. My kids choose it over any other steak.
DeleteI'm with you, can't go wrong with zucchini, love it!
Now we're talkin! Apologies to vegetarians but omg is there nothing better than a great steak?!!!
ReplyDeleteSkirt steak is so under appreciated. It's fantastic.
I must look into skirt steak. Sounds fantastic. Have a lovely week.
ReplyDeletePS If you have any lamb dishes it would be wonderful if you would link them in to Food on Friday - numbers are down this week - I hadn't realised that lamb wasn't popular in the US!
Thanks!
DeleteI added two more :)
Nice marinade and yeah, my husband probably wishes I were a woman of few words. Ha!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great meal, your Skirt Steak looks amazing! Enjoy your weekend and thank you so much for sharing with Full Plate Thursday.
ReplyDeleteCome Back Soon!
Miz Helen
this looks great and he he my hubby would wish for me to be less talkative too
ReplyDeleteIt is only morning mere, but now you made me crave zucchini, haha.
ReplyDeleteSo simple! I'm always wary of balsamic glazes because I'm afraid the end result will be too vinegar-y, but I think they probably caramelize. Anyway, your dish looks great!
ReplyDeletesimple and delicious.... i love this...
ReplyDeleteBye from Italy
Another good one from Carol. My Weekend Cooking post is about Pinterest, and I made your Chicken Parm Meatballs which were a huge hit with the guys. http://bit.ly/PLtwBU
ReplyDeleteThat sounds luscious. Balsamic vinegar has been a recent addition to our repertoire and we really like it.
ReplyDeleteThe steak sounds so good... I know hubby would love this.
ReplyDeleteMouthwatering, finger licking steak! I would open my mouth only to devour it, lol!
ReplyDeleteSounds like an amazing dinner! I love that deep rich color of the meat - that spells GOOD to me!
ReplyDeleteCould sirloin work or do you think it'd be too thick?
ReplyDeleteI'd think it would be nice on any kind of steak! It had good flavor.
DeleteWow that is simple and sounds delish! I LOVE balsamic vinegar. I definitely need to try this.
ReplyDeleteThat looks delicious! I love anything with vinegar!!
ReplyDeleteI love a good piece of beef. This looks so delicious. I wish I were having this for my supper tonight.
