Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds Skirt steak
- 1 tablespoon Kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 large Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Red wine vinegar
- 1 cup Fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons Fresh oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
Instructions
Pat the skirt steak dry with paper towels. Season both sides generously with kosher salt and black pepper. Allow to rest at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
While the steak is resting, prepare the chimichurri sauce. Finely chop the garlic cloves, parsley, and oregano. Combine them in a small bowl.
Add the red wine vinegar, olive oil, red pepper flakes, and lemon juice to the chopped herbs and garlic. Stir until well mixed. Set aside for flavors to meld.
Preheat a grill or grill pan over high heat. Brush the steak lightly with olive oil to prevent sticking.
Place the steak on the grill and cook for about 3 to 4 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches your desired level of doneness (125°F for medium-rare).
Remove the steak from the grill and allow it to rest for 5 minutes before slicing to ensure the juices redistribute throughout the meat.
Slice the steak against the grain to enhance tenderness. Serve with prepared chimichurri sauce drizzled over the top or on the side.
