Ingredients

  • 1 ½ pounds skirt steak
  • ¾ cup olive oil extra virgin, use the good stuff!
  • ⅔ cup fresh parsley finely chopped
  • ⅓ cup fresh cilantro finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Heat up your grill while your steak is coming to room temperature. Drizzle some olive oil over the top, rub it all over the steak and sprinkle with salt.
  2. Grill the steak to the temperature of your liking, using a meat thermometer. I prefer mine between rare and medium-rare, so I pull mine off at 125F. While your steak is cooking, mix up the chimichurri sauce.
  3. Add the chopped parsley and cilantro to a mixing bowl, along with the oregano, salt, garlic and red pepper flakes.
  4. Add the olive oil, red wine vinegar and lime juice over the top. Whisk until well combined. Allow to sit at room temperature until your steak is cooked and has rested for 10 minutes.
  5. Slice up your steak and pour the chimichurri sauce over the top, then serve. Store leftover sauce in an airtight jar for about a week in the fridge.

Notes

  • Serving size 4 ounces steak with ⅙th of the chimichurri sauce
