• 3 units Garlic cloves
• 1 cup Fresh parsley
• 0.5 cup Fresh cilantro
• 2 tablespoons Red wine vinegar
• 0.5 teaspoons Crushed red pepper flakes
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons Water

Directions

Step 1

Place the skirt steak on a clean working surface. Lightly brush both sides with olive oil and season with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1 teaspoon of black pepper. Let it rest at room temperature for 15 minutes while preparing the chimichurri sauce.

Step 2

To make the chimichurri sauce, finely chop the garlic, parsley, and cilantro and place them in a medium bowl.

Step 3

Add the red wine vinegar, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, crushed red pepper flakes, 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, and 2 tablespoons of water to the bowl. Mix well to combine. Adjust seasoning to taste and set aside.

Step 4

Preheat a grill or grill pan to high heat.

Step 5

Once the grill is hot, place the skirt steak on the grill. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or adjust cooking time according to your preferred doneness.

Step 6

Remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Step 7

Serve the grilled churrasco sliced against the grain and generously drizzle with the chimichurri sauce. Serve any extra sauce on the side.
