Argentinean Chimichurri Skirt Steak
- 1 pound Skirt Steak
- 1- 1/2 teaspoon Dark Brown Sugar
- 2 teaspoons Cumin
- 1/2 teaspoons Sea Salt
- 1/2 teaspoons Black Pepper
- 1 cup Parsley Leaves, Packed
- 4 cloves Garlic, Peeled And Smashed
- 1/4 whole Yellow Onion, Peeled And Roughly Chopped
- 1 Tablespoon Dried Oregano
- 13 cups Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 1/4 cups Red Wine Vinegar
- 3/4 teaspoons Sea Salt
- 1/2 teaspoons Black Pepper
- 1 teaspoon Crushed Red Pepper Flakes
- Note the steak requires a minimum of 12 hours marinating time, so plan ahead.
- 1.
- Combine the ingredients for the dry rub (everything except the steak) in a ramekin or small mixing bowl.
- Apply and rub into both sides of the skirt steak.
- Set aside.
- 2.
- In the bowl of a food processor, place the parsley, garlic, and onion.
- Pulse until finely chopped, about 15 pulses.
- 3.
- Add the remaining sauce ingredients and pulse to combine, about 6-8 pulses.
- 4.
- Transfer 1/2 of the chimichurri into a large Ziploc bag and add the rubbed skirt steak.
- Seal the bag.
- Allow the steak to marinate in the fridge for 12-24 hours.
- Place the remaining portion of the chimichurri in a glass container with a lid, or Ziploc and place in the refrigerator to allow the flavors to marry.
- 5.
- Thirty minutes before cooking, remove both the chimichurri steak and the separate marinade from the refrigerator; allow to sit at room temperature.
- 6.
- Heat a grill or grill pan to high.
- Lightly coat the grates with oil.
- Cook the steaks for 2 minutes per side for medium rare.
- Remove the steaks from the grill and allow to rest for 4-5 minutes before slicing.
- 7.
- Slice the steak against the grain.
- Serve with reserved chimichurri sauce and optional garnishes.
- Notes: 1.
- If you do not have a food processor you can finely dice the parsley and mince the garlic.
- Place in a small mixing bowl.
- Add the remaining chimichurri ingredients and mix well.
- 2.
- Chimichurri can be prepared and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days in advance.
- 3.
- I like my chimichurri on the chunky side, if you want a smoother chimichurri simply process more until desired consistency is achieved.
