Delicious Chimichurri Steak Recipe for a Flavorful Meal

Ingredients

Servings:
4
  • 2 pounds skirt steak
  • 1 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 cup olive oil
  • 1 cup red wine vinegar
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon oregano, dried

Instructions

5 steps

  1. Prepare the Chimichurri Sauce

    In a bowl, combine chopped parsley, olive oil, red wine vinegar, minced garlic, red pepper flakes, salt, black pepper, and oregano.

    Let the sauce sit for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  2. Marinate the Steak

    Place the skirt steak in a resealable plastic bag and pour half of the chimichurri sauce over it. Seal and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

    For best results, marinate overnight.
  3. Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to high heat, about 450°F (232°C).

    Make sure the grill grates are clean and lightly oiled.
  4. Grill the Steak

    Remove the steak from the marinade and grill for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare.

    Use a meat thermometer to check for an internal temperature of 130°F (54°C).
  5. Rest and Serve

    Remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for 5-10 minutes. Slice against the grain and serve with the remaining chimichurri sauce.

    Pair with a side of grilled vegetables or potatoes for a complete meal.
