FIRST, LET’S TALK SKIRT STEAK VS FLANK STEAK:

  • I love Latin American steak with chimichurri (churrasco). A pricey dinner menu may feature it, but this homemade version is just as tasty. Especially with homemade chimichurri.
  • However, you can choose skirt or flank steak. Both are soft and lean, have meaty flavours, and grill quickly (like my carne asada dish). Flank steak is thicker and more expensive.

 

INGREDIENTS YOU’LL NEED:

 1 . Steak

  • As was established earlier, you have the option of selecting either flank steak or skirt steak for this dish. Since skirt steak is a bit thinner, has a more powerful flavour, and cooks more quickly than other cuts of steak, I am using it.

2 . Salt and Pepper

  • One teaspoon of black pepper and one tablespoon of kosher salt are all that are required for this recipe. It is important to note that you should use kosher salt and not table salt.

 

3 . Chimichurri Sauce

  • When it comes to making chimichurri, there are a few different approaches to take; nevertheless, I will demonstrate an authentic (and quite delicious) version below!

4 . Chop the dry ingredients

  • The parsley, oregano, chilli pepper, and garlic should be chopped very finely by hand,
  • then they should be placed and mixed together in a small bowl.

 

5 . Stir everything together

  • After adding the vinegar, salt, pepper, and olive oil, give everything a good toss to combine it all. After you have finished preparing the skirt steak, you can immediately put it to use.
  • But if you allow it to remain at room temperature for a while, the flavours will combine and become more pronounced, resulting in an even more delicious flavour.

Instructions:

For the Marinade and Grilling

  • Use a whisk to combine all of the ingredients, and then transfer the mixture to a big ziploc bag.
  • Place the skirt steak in a ziploc bag along with the marinade, and allow it to marinate for a maximum of six to seven hours, depending on the thickness of the meat.
  • Add a generous amount of salt and pepper to the food before you put it on the grill.
  • Before slicing on a cutting board, allow the food to rest for a while after it has been grilled until it is golden brown and nicely charred.

For the Chimichurri

  • Blend all of the ingredients together in a food processor or a heavy-duty blender until everything is chopped up and smooth, and then serve using the blender or food processor. Seriously, it’s that simple.

 

TIPS FOR THE BEST GRILLED SKIRT STEAK

1 . Let the steak rest a bit before slicing

  • A portion of the meaty liquids will be able to be reabsorbed by the skirt steak as a result of this. Should you slice the meat too quickly, all of those additional juices will escape.

2 . Slice against the grain

  • In order to get the highest possible level of tenderness, you should slice it in the manner described above. We are not looking for a tough steak here!
  • Find the parallel lines that run in one direction, and then slice across in the opposite direction.
  • If you are unsure how to do this, look for the lines that run in the same direction. This is as simple as it gets!

 

3 . Use a marinade for more flavor

  • Adding your own unique combination of spices, herbs, an acid, and oil to your steak is a simple way to give it an additional layer of flavour complexity.
  • Place your steak in a bag or container and place it in the refrigerator for a few hours so that it may marinate.
