I have head skirt steak prepared via other methods, but grilling, on hardwood charcoal is objectivley better. The smoke
adds an imense amount of flavor to the fatty meat, and that is the seasoning, more then the salt, or the oil.
Skirt steak has unfortunatley been discovered, and so it is expensive. The Berkeley Bowl is selling it for 15.99 a pound.
If you want almost the same experience with a cheaper cut of meat get a butcher steak, or I have heard it refered to as a
hanger steak. It has a serious tendon right down the middle, but just eat around it.
Putting rosemary sticks on the coals, and rubbing the meat with rosemary is a nice addition.
