Steak
- 1 pound skirt steak or flank steak, any large parts of fat trimmed (I get my steak from ButcherBox, which I highly recommend)
- salt and pepper
Chimichurri Sauce
- ½ cup parsley leaves torn from 1 bunch, some stems ok
- ½ cup cilantro leaves torn from 1 bunch, some stems ok
- ¾ cup olive oil
- ¼ cup red wine vinegar
- 3 cloves of garlic
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper
Steak
Preheat your grill (or indoor grill pan) over high heat, and brush with olive oil. Season the salt generously with salt and pepper. Grill on each side about 5-6 minutes, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 135 degrees for medium rare. Transfer to a cutting board and allow to rest for 5 minutes. After the steak has rested, slice it against the grain into 1/2" thick slices. Serve topped with chimichurri sauce.
