- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 cup Fresh parsley
- 0.5 cup Fresh cilantro
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves

Directions
Step 1
Season the skirt steak with 1 teaspoon of salt and 0.5 teaspoon of ground black pepper on both sides.
Step 2
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.

Step 6
Pulse the ingredients until they form a slightly chunky sauce. Adjust seasoning with a pinch of salt if needed.
