Spice Rub:

  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 2 tablespoons chili powder
  • 1 tablespoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 1/2 pounds skirt steak, cut into pieces that will fit on your grill**

Chipotle Cherry BBQ Sauce:

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

  • 1 medium onion, chopped

  • 1/2 cup canned beef broth

  • 1 (15-ounce) can pitted cherries, drained and coarsely chopped**
  • 1 canned chipotle en adobo, minced plus 1 tablespoon sauce from can**

  • 1 cup light brown sugar, packed

  • 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar

  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

PREPARATION

For the rub: In a small bowl, add the garlic, chile powder, salt, and cumin.

Rub the spice mixture over the entire skirt steak and let sit for 25 to 30 minutes in a dish or a re-sealable bag.

For the sauce: Meanwhile, in a medium sized saucepan, melt the butter and sauté the onion until fragrant and translucent. Deglaze with beef broth and bring to a simmer. Stir in the remaining ingredients and cook for 15 minutes over medium heat until sauce has thickened.

For the steak: Preheat a grill pan over high heat. Place the steak on the grill and cook for 4 to 5 minutes per side for medium-rare. Pull off the grill and glaze with BBQ sauce before resting for 5 minutes.

Slice skirt steak against the grain and serve with extra BBQ sauce.
