Grilled Skirt Steaks with Tomatillos Two WaysRomulo Yanes

Rich skirt steak begs for an assertive, acidic accompaniment. The tomatillo twofer showcases the fruit’s different personalities: In the cooked salsa, its flavor is round and lemony; in the salad, fresh lime juice sharpens the tomatillos’ raw brightness.

Cooks’ notes:

•Steaks can be cooked in a hot oiled 2-burner grill pan over medium-high heat, 4 to 10 minutes for medium-rare.
•Salsa (not salad) can be made 1 day ahead and chilled. Rewarm before serving.
