Mouth-Watering Skirt Steak Poutine

Ingredients

  • 4 Quebec Grain-Ged Veal skirt steaks (bavettes), 180 g (about 1/3 lb) eac
  • 750 g French fries
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 350 g cheese curds
  • 500 ml (2 cups) hot poutine sauce
  • 30 ml (2 tbsp) fresh chives

Preparation

  1. Let the skirt steaks rest for about 20 minutes at room temperature.
  2. Meanwhile, cook the French fries in the oven or deep fryer until golden brown and crispy. Keep warm.
  3. When ready to cook the skirt steaks, preheat the barbecue to medium-high heat (about 425°F).
  4. Season the skirt steaks with salt and pepper, then place them on the hot, oiled grill. Cook for 6 to 8 minutes, turning the steaks a few times during cooking, for medium-rare doneness.
  5. Place the skirt steaks on a plate and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing against the grain.
  6. Divide the fries among plates or a large serving platter. Top with cheese curds and poutine sauce. Place the skirt steak slices on top of the poutine and sprinkle with chives.
