Q. Dear Silk,
For the last couple of days, this guy I’ve been dating has been texting me and emailing me and calling me about this three-foot long skirt steak he has been marinating—seriously, it has been a part of our daily correspondence. The thing is,he hasn’t ONCE invited me over to eat this steak with him. He even was like, “I hope my cat is hungry, there is SOOO much steak in my refrigerator, and I just have no idea how I’m going to finish it.” I got pissy, so I texted him back, “I hope you like cleaning up cat barf.”
What gives? Is he ambiguously inviting me over for dinner with him? Is he waiting for me to invite myself over? Should I start spamming him about this duck breast I just bought from the farmer’s market?
A. Dear THROWING THE CAT AROUND,
Relax; your boyfriend is just sleeping with someone else. Also, more importantly, never write an email to me with “three-foot long skirt steak” and “my cat is hungry” in it again. You saucy minx….um, I mean, you perv.
Ok, so that said, skirt steak really only needs to marinate for about an hour in the fridge. Marinating for days at a time is unnecessary with this cut of beef. Simply place the steak in a ziplock bag with the marinade and try to remove as much of the air as possible. Heat the skillet over gas to a medium heat, cook for about 5 minutes a side and, Viola! Now you have a perfect meal to share with the woman you are banging. Wait, where was I? Oh yeah- your pissy text.
