Although we don’t eat red meat all that often, one of our more desirable cuts has become the skirt steak. Since there are only two per cow, they are not all that common and we found that you have to get to the market first thing to get one or two. This one is from Watson Farm here in RI. I just added a little salt and pepper and grilled it on the grill over high heat for about three minutes per side. Since it is so thin, it cooks up super quick (and also defrosts quickly)…make sure you slice it against the grain or it may be a little tough to chew!

We’re into day three of our Wintertime 100 mile challenge and this is our first official meal since the start- Day 1 involved some leftovers that we had and yesterday we had an event that served us dinner, so today was the first test of doing the challenge in winter- and you know what? It wasn’t that much different from doing it in summer. We found some nice greens at the market on Saturday, so I used that as a nice base and sautéed some local shallots and a fine Watson Farm skirt steak to sit on top…we had a homemade anchovy salad dressing base tucked away in the fridge which added some pop to the greens…all in all, not a bad start to the month (I have a feeling things are going to get a little interesting in a couple of weeks!).
