  • Total Time: 1 hour 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ lbs skirt steak
  • ¼ cup balsamic vinegar
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
  • Flaky sea salt (optional, for serving)
  • 2 red bell peppers
  • 1 red fresno pepper
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon parsley, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon oregano, chopped
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 ¾ lbs zucchini, shaved into ribbons (discard seedy core)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons lemon zest
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon parsley, chopped
  • ½ cup parmesan cheese, freshly grated

Instructions

  1. Marinate the Steak: Combine skirt steak, balsamic vinegar, olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper. Refrigerate for 1 hour. Let rest at room temperature for 20 minutes before grilling.
  2. Make the Red Pepper Relish: Grill bell peppers and fresno pepper until charred. Peel skins, remove stems, chop finely, and mix with balsamic vinegar, olive oil, honey, parsley, oregano, salt, and pepper.
  3. Prepare the Zucchini Salad: Toss shaved zucchini with olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, and parsley. Let sit 10 minutes, then season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with parmesan before serving.
  4. Grill the Steak: Heat grill to medium-high, lightly oil grates. Cook steak 3–4 minutes per side until desired doneness. Rest 5 minutes, slice against the grain.
  5. Serve: Arrange steak slices on a platter, top with flaky sea salt and red pepper relish. Serve zucchini salad on the side, topped with parmesan.

Notes

  • Use skirt steak for best flavor; flank steak works as an alternative.
  • Let steak rest after marinating to retain juices.
  • Salad can be prepped ahead of time; add parmesan just before serving.
