Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 pounds (680g) skirt steak, trimmed
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
  • 1 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves, packed, washed and roughly chopped
  • 1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 small shallot, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
  • 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Trim any excess silver skin or fat from the skirt steak. Pat dry with paper towels.
  2. Rub the steak all over with 2 tablespoons olive oil, then season evenly with kosher salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika if using.
  3. Let the steak rest at room temperature for about 15 minutes before grilling.
  4. Combine parsley, cilantro, garlic, shallot, oregano, and red pepper flakes in a mixing bowl.
  5. Stir in red wine vinegar, then slowly drizzle in olive oil while whisking to emulsify. Adjust salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Preheat grill or grill pan over high heat until very hot, about 5 to 7 minutes.
  7. Place the skirt steak on the grill and cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side for medium-rare (130-135°F internal temperature).
  8. Use tongs to flip once; avoid piercing the meat.
  9. Transfer steak to a cutting board and tent loosely with foil. Rest for 5 to 10 minutes.
  10. Slice the steak thinly against the grain.
  11. Drizzle chimichurri verde sauce over the sliced steak and serve immediately.

Notes

For best results, trim excess fat and silver skin, pat steak dry, and let it come to room temperature before grilling. Use an instant-read thermometer to avoid overcooking. Chimichurri can be made a day ahead and stored in the fridge to deepen flavors. Slice steak against the grain for tenderness.
