This quick play on meat and potatoes celebrates a juicy — yet affordable — cut of beef.
Ingredients:
- 2 garlic cloves
- Coarse salt and ground pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 1/2 pounds red new potatoes, sliced 1 inch thick
- 1 1/2 pounds skirt steak, cut into 4 equal pieces
- 2 tablespoons red-wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon mustard
- 2 bunches watercress (about 12 ounces total), thick ends removed or a green salad of your choice
Method:
- Preheat oven to 475 degrees. Finely chop garlic, and sprinkle with salt. Using a chef’s knife, press flat side of blade back and forth across garlic to make a paste. Transfer to a small bowl; stir in thyme and 1 tablespoon oil. On a large rimmed baking sheet, toss potatoes with garlic mixture; bake until browned on underside, 20 to 25 minutes.
- Meanwhile, heat a large skillet or grill pan over high. Season steaks with salt and pepper, and cook (in two batches if necessary) until medium-rare, 3 to 6 minutes per side (depending on thickness of steak). Transfer to a plate to rest.
- While steaks rest, make salad: In a large bowl, whisk together vinegar, Dijon, and remaining oil; season with salt and pepper. Add watercress, and toss to combine. Serve steaks with potatoes and salad.
Cook’s NoteBecause they are well marbled, skirt steaks can go in a hot skillet without added fat. Cook them to medium-rare so they’ll be tender, not tough.

I have a container of coarse sea salt in my room. I can’t help but eat it by itself. Could I become addicted? What could happen?
The only reason it’s in my room is so I can make sea salt spray for recent piercings.

Do you have any kick ass recipes? I like to come up with my own kind of food and stuff, and I wanted to try something really original. It might put my mom at ease if she knew it had already been tested.
Any kind of recipes, dinner, snack, lunch, whatever is a-okay with me.

Just wondering. I started smashing then eating garlic cloves about a week ago because my mom said it was good for you. I find them rather tasty actually. But what actual benefits does it have?

So, I have some potatoes that I want to transform into FRENCH FRIES. Now, I don’t have a deep fryer, so it has to be an oven recipe. I want it to be crispy, without too much seasoning. Is there a trick to make them crispier? Like putting them in sugar water or in the refrigerator or what? HELP!

I watch Food Network and I notice that every single one of the chefs do that when they cook…. Do you HAVE to smack the garlic cloves???
