Grilled Hoisin Beef

The underrated hoisin sauce is a thickened, fermented soy-sauce-like substance, flavored with chiles, garlic, vinegar, sugar, and other delicious spices. It makes a great marinade. And unless you horribly overcook it, this skirt steak is juicy and tender.

Ingredients

Oops! Something went wrong. Our team is working on it.

Original recipe (1X) yields 2 servings

1 (1 pound) beef skirt steak
⅓ cup hoisin sauce
3 tablespoons Chinese vinegar (or sherry vinegar)
1 tablespoon soy sauce
2 teaspoons hot sauce
2 teaspoons sesame oil
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger root
4 cloves garlic, finely minced
1 tablespoon packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 green onion, light parts only, minced
Toasted sesame seeds

Directions

Whisk hoisin sauce, vinegar, soy sauce, hot sauce, sesame oil, grated ginger, garlic, brown sugar, salt, and pepper together in a large mixing bowl.
Cut skirt steak crosswise into about 4 or 5 smaller pieces. Transfer steak into marinade and toss until all pieces are evenly coated. Cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate; marinate at least 2 hours and up to 12 hours.
Line a baking pan with paper towels. Transfer pieces of steak to the paper towels and mop off some of the marinade.
Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil the grate.
Transfer steak pieces to grill. Cook to medium rare or medium, 4 to 5 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read between 130 and 135 degrees F (about 54 degrees C). Thinner pieces might finish earlier. Transfer steak to a warm plate. Let rest for a few minutes.
Transfer steak to a warm serving platter and pour any accumulated juices over skirt steak. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and sliced green onions.

This bread is the perfect marriage of a crisp, light crust outside and a chewy yet tender inside. The no-knead part is just a bonus.

Bulk Venison Breakfast Sausage

This venison sausage recipe is something we make every year as my husband is an avid hunter. We add pork to the venison because the venison has such a low fat content. For the pork, we get really fatty-looking roast ground at our grocery store.

River Road Spinach Madeline

First published in 1959 in River Road Recipes, the Junior League of Baton Rouge's community cookbook, spinach Madeline remains a favorite side dish in Southern Louisiana. Thick and creamy with a hint of jalapeño heat, it's most at home on holidays next to turkey, cornbread dressing, and green bean casserole.

Crab Rangoon

This crab Rangoon is said to be the closest to the Rangoon served at a certain Asian food chain. This favorite appetizer can also be deep-fried instead of baked.
