Instructions
Creating Skirt Steak Marinade with Chimichurri is manageable and enjoyable. Follow these simple steps for a delicious result:
1. Prepare the Marinade: In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, red wine vinegar, minced garlic, dried oregano, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Whisk until well mixed.
2. Marinate the Steak: Place the skirt steak in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steak, ensuring it is well coated. Seal or cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
3. Make the Chimichurri Sauce: In a separate bowl, mix together the chopped parsley, cilantro, lemon zest, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Slowly drizzle in olive oil while stirring to combine. Adjust seasoning to taste.
4. Preheat the Grill: Heat your grill to medium-high heat. Make sure it’s clean and oiled to prevent sticking.
5. Cook the Steak: Remove the steak from the marinade and let excess marinade drip off. Grill the steak for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, adjusting time for your desired doneness.
6. Rest the Steak: Once cooked, transfer the steak to a cutting board and let it rest for 5-10 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute.
7. Slice the Steak: Cut the steak against the grain into thin slices. This ensures tenderness in each bite.
8. Serve with Chimichurri: Drizzle the chimichurri sauce over the sliced steak or serve it on the side for dipping.
