About

For a twist on steak night, it’s time to head way, way south of the border, all the way to Argentina. After marinating the skirt steak for 4 hours, sear it on the grill and serve it alongside the herbaceous and garlicky chimichurri sauce. Mouthwatering Skirt Steak with Chimichurri is a fresher take on traditional steak sauce and allows you to expand your cooking horizons a bit to include other cultures. For extra points, pair with an Argentinian malbec.

Directions

Step 1 -Combine the soy sauce, olive oil, garlic, lime juice, cilantro, sesame oil, sugar, red pepper flakes in a bowl.

Step 9 -Add in the cilantro, parsley, olive oil, lime juice, cumin, coriander, and kosher salt, and blend until it forms a chimichurri.

Step 10 -Top the sliced steak with the chimichurri sauce, then serve.
