Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Skirt steak (or flank steak)
- 4 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Red wine vinegar
- 3 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup Fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons Fresh oregano, finely chopped
- 0.5 teaspoons Red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 5 cups Mixed greens
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes, halved
- 0.5 Red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 Avocado, sliced
Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons of olive oil, red wine vinegar, minced garlic, chopped parsley, oregano, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper to make the chimichurri sauce.
Reserve half of the chimichurri sauce for dressing the salad and use the remaining half as a marinade for the steak.
Place the steak in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the steak, ensuring it is well-coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours.
Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Remove the steak from the marinade and discard any excess. Grill the steak for 4-5 minutes per side, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness.
Transfer the steak to a cutting board and let it rest for 5 minutes. Then slice it thinly against the grain.
In a large salad bowl, combine the mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and avocado slices.
Top the salad with the sliced steak and drizzle with the reserved chimichurri sauce.
Toss gently to coat and serve immediately.
