Recipe Introduction


Skirt steak is an incredibly flavorful cut of meat that cooks in minutes. And since this recipe calls for just 3/4 cup wine, you'll have plenty left over to serve with dinner.





List of Ingredients



• 1 1/2 lb skirt steak, cut into 4 pieces
  
• 3/4 teaspoon salt
  
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  
• 3/4 cup dry red wine
  
• 4 fresh thyme sprigs
  
• 1 Turkish or 1/2 California bay leaf
  
• 1 teaspoon sugar
  
• 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  
• 2 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
  






Instructions



1. Pat steak dry and sprinkle all over with salt and pepper.
   
2. Heat oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then cook steaks, turning over once, 5 to 7 minutes total for medium-rare. Transfer to a platter.
   
3. Pour off fat from skillet, then add wine, thyme, bay leaf, sugar, and Worcestershire sauce and bring to a boil, scraping up brown bits. Continue to boil until reduced by half, about 3 minutes.
   
4. Add any meat juices on platter, then remove from heat and discard bay leaf and thyme. Stir in butter and salt and pepper to taste and serve with steaks.
