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.

GRILLED SKIRT STEAK WITH CHIMICHURRI



Grilled Skirt Steak with Chimichurri image

Grilled skirt steak with lots of chimichurri is a perfect summertime meal. This recipe gives you a simple, well-salted grilled skirt steak topped with deliciously verdant, garlicky, and slightly spicy chimichurri.

Provided by Kaitlin

Categories     Beef

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 bunch of parsley
2-3 tablespoons fresh oregano (minced)
1 bulb of garlic
2/3 cup neutral oil ((such as canola oil, light olive oil, or grapeseed oil))
3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 1/2 teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
juice of half a lime
Skirt steak ((Make however much you want! You'll have plenty of chimichurri to go with it.))

Steps:

  • Pick the leaves off your bunch of parsley, and finely chop them. Peel all your garlic cloves and mince finely. You can use a food processor, garlic press, or an old fashioned knife and cutting board.
  • In a small bowl, combine the parsley, oregano, red wine vinegar, garlic, oil, red pepper flakes, salt, black pepper, and lime juice. Stir well to combine
  • Fire up your grill to preheat. Season your steak with salt and pepper. When your grill is extremely hot (if you have a thermometer on your grill, it should be in the range of 500-600F), lay the steaks on the grill. Skirt steaks are very thin, so this process will be quick. Do not close the grill, and don't walk away!
  • When the first side has been on the grill for about 1 minute, rotate the steaks to get some solid grill marks. After another minute, flip the steak, letting cook for 1 minute, then rotating, then letting cook for another minute or two. Once you've established a solid criss-cross, you can start moving around a little bit more erratically. This will ensure that you get a delicious uniform grill crust--none of that fakey McFakerson neat criss cross lame-ness you see in Outback Steakhouse commercials. These instructions are for medium rare, which is in our opinion the best way to enjoy your steak. If you like it more or less well done, add or subtract cooking time.
  • When the steak is cooked, transfer to a plate and let rest for a solid 10 minutes. Don't cut into it before then. Serve as large steaks or slice against the grain and top with generous amounts of chimichurri.

CHURRASCO (GRILLED MARINATED SKIRT STEAK)



Churrasco (Grilled Marinated Skirt Steak) image

Like so many of the best Puerto Rican dishes, churrasco - garlicky wood-fire-grilled steak served with chimichurri - starts by tenderizing a tougher cut of meat (skirt steak) with a flavorful marinade. Although its origins are Argentinian and Brazilian (the word churrasco encompassing grilled meats in both Spanish and Portuguese), variations on the dish are Latin American staples. This recipe kicks up a classic Puerto Rican marinade with a bit of adobo seasoning, and then served with wasakaka, an herbaceous sauce from the Dominican Republic using lime juice. The steak should be grilled over an open fire (the smoke is key), but a gas grill will do, as will a cast-iron skillet. Serve with adobo roasted potatoes, maduros, white rice or arroz mamposteao, plus fresh tomato and avocado slices.

Categories     dinner, meat, steaks and chops, main course

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 1/2 pounds skirt steak or tri-tip (see Tip)
3 large garlic cloves
1 tablespoon fresh oregano leaves, finely chopped
1 tablespoon white vinegar
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 tablespoon adobo seasoning (preferably Loísa or Badía brands)
2 teaspoons kosher salt (such as Diamond Crystal), plus more to taste
1/3 cup fresh lime juice
1/2 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves, finely chopped
1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves, finely chopped
1/4 cup fresh oregano leaves, finely chopped
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon kosher salt (such as Diamond Crystal)
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Pat the steaks dry and place in a large zip-top bag.
  • Combine the garlic, oregano, vinegar, olive oil, adobo seasoning and salt in the bowl of a pilón or mortar and pestle, or a small food processor. Grind into a thin paste, then pour the marinade over the steak. Zip the bag then shake well to coat the meat, rubbing in gently as needed. Let rest on the counter for 10 to 20 minutes, or refrigerate overnight if you have time. Be sure to let the steak come to room temperature before grilling.
  • If using a charcoal grill, start by building a fire with hardwood and kindling, then adding lump hardwood charcoal once the fire is kicking. Allow the fire to mellow. If using a gas grill, set the temperature to 500 degrees.
  • Meanwhile, make the wasakaka: Combine the lime juice, parsley, cilantro, oregano, olive oil, garlic, salt and pepper in a small bowl and whisk to incorporate. If you'd like a creamier sauce, blend in a small food processor or blender. (Wasakaka will keep for 3 or 4 days in a sealed jar in the refrigerator.)
  • Once the grill is ready, remove skirt steak from the bag and shake off excess marinade. Place on the grill and sear for 1 to 3 minutes. Using tongs, pull up the corner to ensure the steak has a good dark char, bordering on burned in places, before flipping, then cook for 1 more minute for rare, 2 minutes for medium-rare. Be careful not to overcook or steak will be tough.
  • Remove steak from grill and let rest for 5 to 7 minutes. Slice into strips and pour over wasakaka, or serve sauce on the side. Taste and sprinkle with additional salt, if desired.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of meat: Skirt steak is a thin, flavorful cut of beef that is perfect for grilling. Look for skirt steak that is about 1 inch thick and has a good amount of marbling.
  • Marinate the steak: Marinating the steak helps to tenderize it and infuse it with flavor. Use a marinade that contains acidic ingredients, such as lemon juice or vinegar, as well as herbs and spices. Marinate the steak for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
  • Grill the steak over high heat: Skirt steak should be cooked over high heat so that it develops a nice char and remains tender. Grill the steak for 3-4 minutes per side, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness.
  • Let the steak rest before slicing: Once the steak is cooked, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful steak.
  • Serve the steak with a flavorful sauce: Skirt steak can be served with a variety of sauces, such as chimichurri, salsa, or steak sauce. Choose a sauce that complements the flavors of the steak.

Conclusion:

Grilled skirt steak with Vietnamese chimichurri is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a summer cookout. The steak is grilled to perfection and the chimichurri sauce adds a bright and flavorful touch. This dish is sure to please everyone at your next party or gathering.
