Prego Roll Recipe
- 6 garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon packed flat-leaf parsley leaves
- Pinch of kosher salt
- 8 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 1 pound skirt steak, trimmed of excess fat
- 5 garlic cloves
- 8 to 10 parsley sprigs
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 4 Portuguese rolls
- 1/2 cup garlic butter
- Mince the garlic and finely chop the parsley leaves. Mix the garlic, parsley, and salt into the butter until very well combined. This will keep, refrigerated, for up to 2 weeks.
- Cut the steak into 4 equal portions. Smash the garlic cloves using the side of your knife. Pick the parsley leaves and coarsely chop them; set aside. In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, olive oil, and smashed garlic. Pour over the steak, cover, and marinate for 1 hour or up to 12 hours.
- In a very hot cast-iron skillet, sear each side of the steak, cooking to your preference. (Skirt steak cooks very quickly; for medium, cook for 2 to 3 minutes on each side.) Transfer to a plate when finished. While the meat is resting, wipe out the skillet and set it over low heat.
- Cut each roll in half and liberally butter each side with garlic butter. Toast the rolls, cut side down, until golden brown in color.
- On a cutting board slice the steaks across the grain (lengthwise) into 1-inch strips or pieces. Lay the meat on a roll and top with chopped parsley.
