Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Skirt steak
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 cup Fresh parsley
- 0.5 cup Fresh cilantro
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Red wine vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoon Red chili flakes
Instructions
Season the skirt steak with 1 teaspoon of salt and 0.5 teaspoon of ground black pepper on both sides.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Once the oil is hot, place the skirt steak into the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer if desired.
Remove the steak from the pan and let it rest on a cutting board for 5 minutes before slicing against the grain.
While the steak rests, prepare the chimichurri sauce. In a food processor, combine 1 cup of fresh parsley, 0.5 cup of fresh cilantro, 2 garlic cloves, 2 tablespoons of red wine vinegar, 0.5 teaspoon of red chili flakes, and 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
Pulse the ingredients until they form a slightly chunky sauce. Adjust seasoning with a pinch of salt if needed.
Serve the sliced skirt steak with a generous drizzle of chimichurri sauce on top.
