Skirt Steak with Chimichurri Sauce
Description
This recipe for Skirt Steak with Chimichurri Sauce focuses on showcasing the beef’s natural flavor by seasoning with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. The steak is brought to room temperature and dried before grilling to medium-high heat, ensuring a nicely seared crust develops on the outside while maintaining juiciness inside. Grilling for about 3 to 4 minutes per side is timed to achieve a tender and flavorful cut.
The chimichurri sauce, a staple South American condiment made with herbs, garlic, vinegar, and oil, is spooned over the sliced steak after cooking. Slicing against the grain breaks the muscle fibers, ensuring each piece remains tender. This combination delivers a hearty and fresh profile suitable for serving as a main dish alongside simple sides like grilled vegetables or potatoes.
