Skirt Steak Chimichurri
Description
Skirt Steak Chimichurri combines a 2-pound skirt steak seasoned with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, grilled over indirect medium-high heat to achieve a medium-rare doneness. The steak is cooked about 3 minutes per side before resting for 5 minutes, which helps retain its juices. Serving it sliced against the grain enhances tenderness. The dish is finished with a cup of room temperature chimichurri sauce, a classic Argentine condiment made from herbs, garlic, vinegar, and oil, bringing fresh and tangy notes that contrast with the beef's savory flavor.
The steak’s texture is slightly coarse but tender when sliced properly, with a grilled exterior that adds a bit of smoky flavor. The chimichurri sauce contributes a vibrant herbal complexity and moistens the meat further. This combination is well suited to a casual dinner and can be served alongside grilled vegetables, a simple salad, or crusty bread to soak up the sauce.
Although no additional notes are provided, resting the steak after grilling is key to juicy results. Using a high-quality steak and seasoning simply allows the flavors to shine without unnecessary embellishments.
