Ingredients
  • 1 baguette
  • 1/2 cup barbecue sauce
  • 2/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 2/3 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons garlic
  • 3 teaspoons dried red pepper flakes
  • 1 cup parsley
  • Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
  • 2 1/2 pounds skirt steak
  • 1 tablespoon ground cumin
  • 1 tablespoon paprika
  • 1 tablespoon coriander
  • 2 tablespoons black pepper
  • kosher salt
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
Directions
  1. While the fire in your grill heats up, combine all ingredients in a large bowl and toss well.
  2. Build a two-level fire in your grill, which means you put all the coals on one side of the grill and leave the other side free of coals. When the flames have died down, all the coals are covered with gray ash, and the temperature is hot (you can hold your hand 6 inches above the grill for only 2 to 3 seconds), you’re ready to cook.
  3. In a small bowl, combine the spices and salt to taste and mix well.
  4. Rub the steaks all over with the oil and then with the rub, pressing gently to be sure it adheres.
  5. When the steaks come off the grill and have rested, slice them on the bias against the grain.
  6. Pour the juice into the bread salad, then put the bread salad onto a platter or individual plates and top with the sliced steak.
