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

Directions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

While the steak is resting, prepare the chimichurri sauce. Finely chop the garlic cloves, parsley, and oregano. Combine them in a small bowl.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

Preheat a grill or grill pan over high heat. Brush the steak lightly with olive oil to prevent sticking.

Step 5

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).

Step 6

Remove the steak from the grill and allow it to rest for 5 minutes before slicing to ensure the juices redistribute throughout the meat.

Step 7

Slice the steak against the grain to enhance tenderness. Serve with prepared chimichurri sauce drizzled over the top or on the side.
