Categories     main-dish

Time 3h3m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2/3 cup sherry wine vinegar
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley
4 tablespoons chopped fresh basil leaves
1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano leaves
3 tablespoons minced garlic
2 tablespoons minced shallots
3/4 teaspoon fresh cracked black pepper
2 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
1 (1 3/4 to 2-pound) skirt steak

Steps:

  • In the bowl of a food processor, combine the olive oil, sherry vinegar, lemon juice, parsley, basil, oregano, garlic and shallots. Pulse until well blended but do not puree. Add 1/4 teaspoon of the black pepper, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and the crushed red pepper. Remove 1 cup of the chimichurri sauce from the processor and transfer to a non-reactive bowl, cover with plastic wrap and reserve at room temperature for up to 6 hours. (If cooking steak another day, refrigerate sauce and return to room temperature before serving.)
  • Season the steak with 1 teaspoon of the kosher salt on each side, as well as 1/4 teaspoon of the black pepper per side and place in a large, resealable plastic bag. Add the remaining chimichurri sauce from the processor. Seal bag and refrigerate the steak for at least 2 and up to 4 hours.
  • Preheat a grill to medium heat.
  • Once the steak has finished marinating, remove it from the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature for 30 minutes. Brush the excess chimichurri sauce off the steak and set the steak over the hot grill. Cook for 6 minutes on the first side. Rotate the steak 45 degrees, and cook another 6 minutes. Turn the steak over and continue to cook until the steak is done, about 6 to 8 minutes for medium-rare. Once cooked, lay the steak on a clean cutting board, and allow it to rest for 5 to 7 minutes before slicing across the grain into 2-inch wide strips. Serve with crusty bread and the reserved chimichurri sauce.

Skirt Steak With Red Chile Cilantro Chimichurri image

A flavorful combination of red chile & cilantro in this Argentian chimichurri sauce. Skirt steak is popular in Argentina, if you can't find Skirt steak, you can substitute flat iron or flank steak. It is best to grill the steak to medium or medium rare. This comes from the Williams Sonoma Latin Cookbook. I am posting for ZWT 7; South America.It is said that in the mid 1800s, an Englishman and bon vivant, Jimmy Curry arrived in Argentina, He quickly fell in love with the aroma and taste of the roasted meats and set about to create a spicy accompaniment to show his appreciation for the tasty barbecue. He gathered spices such as chili pepper, sweet red pepper, tomatoes, onions and garlic, and combined them with rosemary, oregano, thyme and salt.The sauce caught on quickly, and today has become the traditional sauce of Argentina.

ARGENTINIAN STEAK WITH CHIMICHURRI



Argentinian Steak With Chimichurri image

Looking for the perfect recipe for entertaining summer guests? This delicious, juicy steak recipe from Chef Mike Ward is a flavourful focal point for any occasion.

Provided by maryjjohnson34

Categories     Steak

Time 30m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 new york sirloin steak
2 tablespoons thyme
2 tablespoons rosemary
splash olive oil
salt and pepper
1 garlic clove
1 cup parsley
1 cup coriander
1/2 cup fresh oregano leaves
1 teaspoon dried chili pepper flakes (to taste)
1 tablespoon cumin
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar (any vinegar can be used)

Steps:

  • Chimichurri (must be done in advance):.
  • In a food processor, add garlic, parsley, coriander, oregano, chili flakes, cumin and vinegar.
  • Slowly add olive oil and blend until you get a chunky pesto-like consistency. Don't over-blend - you don't want it to become a paste.
  • Check seasoning and let sit for 10 minutes to allow flavours to relax and combine. The longer you can make this advance the better; even a day before is great.
  • Steak:.
  • Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C).
  • Add a good splash of olive oil to an ovenproof fry pan set to very high heat. Cast iron or steel is preferred; don't use aluminum.
  • Season steak well on both sides with salt and pepper. The thicker your cut is, the heavier you should go on the seasoning.
  • On your stovetop, sear each side of steak until browned. Then sear the edge fat strip (approximately 1 to 2 minutes per side and edge).
  • Slide pan into oven for 5 more minutes. On a 1.5-inch thick steak, this should get you around medium to medium rare.
  • Remove from oven, remove from pan, cover with foil and let rest for 5 minutes. (Chimichurri is served at room temperature.).
  • Once steak has rested, cut crossways into half-inch slices (serrated knife is best). Slather steak with chimichurri or serve on the side.
  • Chef's tip: Chimichurri lasts in the fridge for up to a week. It's also heaven on roasted veggies and chicken.

Categories     Dinner

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 ½ lb skirt steak, trimmed of excess fat and cut into 3 pieces
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
kosher salt, to taste
freshly ground black pepper, to taste
8 cloves garlic
2 small shallots, halved lengthwise
1 jalapeño, stemmed, halved, seeds and ribs removed
1 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves
¾ cup fresh cilantro
½ cup olive oil
¼ cup fresh oregano leaf, packed
¼ cup red wine vinegar

Steps:

  • Heat a large cast-iron skillet over high heat until it begins to smoke.
  • Brush the steaks with the vegetable oil and season liberally with salt and pepper.
  • Place the steak in the skillet, working in batches as needed. Cook, flipping once halfway through, until charred on the outside and medium-rare inside, 4-8 minutes, depending on the thickness of the steak. If working in batches, wipe out the skillet between batches.
  • Transfer the steaks to a cutting board and let rest for 10 minutes.
  • Reduce the heat to medium-high. Add the garlic, shallots, and jalapeño and cook, turning as needed, until blackened in spots and softened, about 8 minutes.
  • Transfer the vegetables to a food processor or blender. Add the parsley, cilantro, olive oil, oregano, and vinegar and purée until smooth. Season the chimichurri with salt and pepper. You should have about 1 cup.
  • To serve, cut the steaks against the grain into ¼-inch thick slices. Transfer to a serving platter or plates and spoon the charred chimichurri over the top.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Select a good cut of skirt steak: Look for a steak that is well-marbled and has a deep red color. Avoid steaks that are thin or have a lot of connective tissue.
  • Marinate the steak: Marinating the steak in a mixture of olive oil, garlic, parsley, and oregano will help to tenderize the meat and infuse it with flavor.
  • Cook the steak over high heat: Skirt steak is best cooked over high heat so that it develops a nice crust on the outside while remaining tender on the inside.
  • Let the steak rest before slicing: After cooking, let the steak rest for a few minutes before slicing. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more flavorful and tender steak.
  • Serve with chimichurri sauce: Chimichurri sauce is a classic Argentinean sauce made with fresh herbs, olive oil, and vinegar. It is the perfect complement to skirt steak.

Conclusion:

Argentinian skirt steak with chimichurri is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a summer cookout or party. The steak is tender and flavorful, and the chimichurri sauce adds a bright and herbaceous flavor. Follow these tips to ensure that your skirt steak is cooked perfectly and that your chimichurri sauce is packed with flavor.
