Below is how we did it.
INGREDIENTS
One skirt steak (averages 2.5-3 lbs, adjust to need)
Red and green bell peppers, diced
One onion, diced
One zucchini squash, diced
Rice of your preference (I used white rice because it is what I found in the cabinet)
Kosmo's Freakin' Fiesta (for the steak) and Lemon Twist (for the rice) rubs
Chicken broth
Malcom's Gyro Hero rub (for the veggies)
*If you cannot find the vegetables you like, either use a frozen bag of the good stuff or buy kabobs from the produce section of your local Walmart. You'll thank me later.
STEP ONE. Take the steak out of its package and season it with Freakin' Fiesta. Set aside and give your vegetables a similar treatment of Gyro Hero. Since both will be cooked at separate times, don't worry about cramming them onto the same grill at the same time. Head outside and light your favorite grill; in this case, it is my beloved PK Classic that gets the best work through rain, sleet, ice, and yes, snow. Bank your charcoal briquettes or lump pieces over to one side in case things go sideways, and once it passes the wave test, feel free to place the skirt steak that has been seasoned so well onto the direct side turning it every few minutes until your satisfaction. In this case, skirt steak is best served medium rare to medium, but as the legendary pitmaster from Oklahoma Kosmo tells us...you do you.
Set it aside to rest and swap in the veggies.
STEP TWO. Add Gyro Hero to the vegetables and cook to preferred doneness but hopefully not mushy. Pull from the grill and set aside.
To cook rice, simply follow the package instructions and instead of water, use an equal amount of chicken broth. As an extra flavor boost, throw in a sufficient amount of Lemon Twist until the ancestors tap you on the shoulder [two tablespoons otherwise, if you missed the reference].
STEP THREE. To serve both now and later:
1. Rice
2. Vegetables
3. Steak strips or bites after resting it
4. Optional: Chimichurri sauce.
My take: I'm already feeling better.
Having survived prostate cancer, my wife and urologist decided to tag team me and suggest some dietary changes. While I cannot nix steak altogether nor quit beef or pork bacon, a diet that allows me to enjoy most things moderately along with exercise and plenty of water keeps the friendly pitmaster a fun guy to be around. Getting a handle on the lifestyle is going to take a lot more than just a little meal prep, so bear with me in the barbecue journey. As always, thank you for reading, sharing, and trying out the first DSB recipe of the year.
Trust me when I say you're gonna love it.
Be blessed, be safe, be good to each other, and tell everyone that every day is a GREAT day for Dub Shack BBQ!
