"I love okra, but pretty much only when it's charred," says Top Chef winner Brooke Williamson. "Grilling enhances its flavor without any unpleasant sliminess." Williamson tosses the okra with sweet plums and crisp jicama to make a bright and crunchy salad that's great served with sliced skirt steak or tossed all together.

F&W Best New Chef 2017 Val M. Cantu, of San Francisco's Californios, makes a lot of tortillas, but these sourdough ones embody his goal at the restaurant of marrying the cuisines of San Francisco and Mexico.

Chef Way David Burke serves three variations of this recipe in his restaurants at any given time. In one version he turns the fresh peaches into tempura french fries; in another, he prepares a peach-and-skirt-steak napoleon, carefully layering and stacking the ingredients. No matter the dish, Burke always marinates the skirt steak for at least 24 hours.
Easy Way Burke marinates skirt steak for 20 minutes before grilling it alongside luscious fresh peach slices tossed in a mixture of honey, cinnamon and ginger. He sets aside some of the steak marinade, mixes it with mustard, and serves it as a delicious, speedy steak sauce.

Tyler Florence makes a Korean-inspired marinade for skirt steak with hoisin sauce, soy sauce and brown sugar. With what he calls a "king-of-the-grill mentality," he boldly adds even more layers of flavor by topping the steak with a butter he's blended with caramelized shallots and shiso, an aromatic green leaf used frequently in Japanese cooking. In the United States, shiso leaves are available in Asian markets; one tablespoon of chopped fresh tarragon is a fine substitute in this recipe.

Like many restaurant chefs, Michael White "shocks" fresh vegetables to make them supercrisp by submerging them briefly in an ice-water bath. For the panzanella (Italian bread salad) here, don't bother shocking the fennel. Simply toss it with tomatoes, peppers and pieces of grilled ciabatta bread just before you're ready to serve the steak.
