Description
Churrasco steak with chimichurri sauce is a popular Argentine barbecue that’s quick and easy to make. It’s the tastiest steak you’ll ever eat. Try it for your next BBQ!
Ingredients
1 1/2 pounds skirt steak (see note)
1/2 recipe of Cilantro Chimichurri Sauce
Salt and Pepper for seasoning
Instructions
Trim the skirt steak to remove excess fat.
Salt and pepper the steak and place in a plastic bag with half a recipe of the chimichurri sauce.
Marinate the steak for 4 hours or overnight.
Heat the grill and while it’s heating, remove the steak from the marinade and dry with paper towels. This will make sure the steak sears instead of steams when added to the grill.
Grill the steaks for about 5-6 minutes per side depending on thickness and desired doneness. 5 minutes per side should yield medium rare for thick parts (see photo) and medium for thinner parts. Skirt steak is not evenly thick, so it would be helpful to cut the steak into two strips based on thickness and remove the thin strip first.
Let it rest for 5 minutes, cut and serve with the remaining chimichurri sauce on the side.
Notes
Outside skirt steak is preferable, as it’s more tender. However, inside skirt steak is more economical and will also taste great.
