Looking to elevate your grilling game? Look no further than Costco’s Marinated Flank Steak from Arrarchera RYC Brands. This steak is a true winner – always bursting with flavor, incredibly juicy, and tender. Whether you’re craving fajitas, tacos, or just a mouthwatering steak, this is the cut for you.
Key Takeaways
Mastering the Art of Grilling
Cooking this marinated skirt steak is a breeze. Costco advises cooking it to an internal temperature of 160F to ensure optimal tenderness. Now, before you dismiss the idea of a well-done steak (and rightfully so), hear me out. This steak has been treated with a secret weapon – a papaya extract tenderizer and a 22% weight-increasing marinade.
Thanks to this unique combination, you could practically cook it with a blowtorch and still end up with a perfectly tender and juicy steak. Each package typically contains over three pounds of meat, so I like to divide it in half before grilling, saving some for later in the week.
When it’s time to grill, I opt for direct high heat and cook the steak for about five minutes per side. If I’m using my trusty Weber Q1200, I preheat the grill for a solid 15 minutes, ensuring the heavy cast iron grates reach a temperature of approximately 520F. Don’t forget to rely on a digital thermometer to measure the internal temperature – it’s the key to perfection.
No grill? No worries. You can easily achieve the same deliciousness by searing the steak under the broiler in your oven.
Unveiling the Perfect Slice
As you prepare to slice your skirt steak, beware of its tricky nature. It may tempt you to slice it incorrectly. Resisting the urge to slice it vertically into thin strips (which would be slicing with the grain) is crucial.
Instead, divide the steak into three large sections, aligning the knife with the grain. Then, rotate each section 90 degrees and make thin slices against the grain. Trust me, this method will unveil the steak’s extraordinary tenderness.
Perfect Pairings for Skirt Steak
Now that you have masterfully sliced your skirt steak, let’s talk about the mouthwatering possibilities. These thin, succulent strips of steak are ideal for creating sensational fajitas. Sauté some sliced peppers and onions, adding a hint of char for extra flavor. Toss them onto warm corn tortillas with a dollop of zesty salsa verde and creamy sour cream. Prepare for an explosion of flavors!
Another fantastic way to enjoy this steak is by pairing it with a prepackaged Caesar salad. Swing by the produce cooler at Costco, grab a bag of salad, and assemble it with the cooked steak. It’s a delightful and hassle-free meal option.
While you’re at Costco, why not seize the opportunity to grab one of their prime briskets? It’s the perfect addition to your weekend grilling plans!
So, next time you’re at Costco, don’t forget to indulge in the marvelous Marinated Flank Steak. Your taste buds will thank you.
