SKIRT STEAK WITH CHIMICHURRI SAUCE



Skirt Steak With Chimichurri Sauce image

The chimichurri is served & sold at many of the restaurants all over in Miami. It is one of things that caught on - big time. I am one of those people who doesn't like basil so I leave it out of the recipe. Inactive prep time: 2 hours 35 minutes. This recipe courtesy of Emeril Lagasse, 2005. Update 06/26/10 . . . . use less oil - instead of 1 cup bring it down to 1/2 cup and then work from there.

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

  • 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.

Important Cooking Instructions

  • When selecting a flank steak, look for one that has a nice marbling of fat. This will help to keep the steak moist and flavorful as it cooks.
  • Make sure to marinate the flank steak for at least 30 minutes, but no longer than 24 hours. This will help to infuse the steak with extra flavors and make it more succulent.
  • Cook the flank steak over a hot, well-oiled pan or griddle. Be sure to cook the steak for only a few minutes per side, until it is nicely seared but still rare or medium-well in the center.
  • Let the flank steak rest for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the steak.
  • Serve the flank steak with your favorite Chimichurri Sauce then enjoy your delicious creation.
