Time 32m

Yield 3-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 small bunch fresh cilantro (leaves only)
1/2 medium yellow onion
fresh lime juice (juice from 1 1/2 limes)
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
4 ounces sour cream
1 large chipotle chile in adobo (finely diced, plus 1 tbsp. adobo sauce)
6 small flour tortillas, warmed (fajita-size)
1 lb skirt steak (or flank steak)
7 garlic cloves, divided
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/4 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/3 cup red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
kosher salt
fresh ground black pepper

Steps:

  • For the Chimichurri: While the steak rests, place the cilantro leaves, onion, 4 cloves garlic, juice of 1 lime, and 1/3 cup vinegar to a blender and puree until combined. With the blender on low speed, drizzle in the 1/4 cup olive oil in a low stream. Remove the sauce from the blender and stir in the red pepper flakes and salt to taste.
  • For the Chipotle Cream: Combine the sour cream, chipotle pepper, adobo sauce, juice of 1/2 lime, and a pinch of salt.
  • Place the steak, 3 cloves garlic, 2 tablespoons each olive oil and red wine vinegar, 1 teaspoons salt, 1/2 teaspoons black pepper, and dijon mustard in a resealable bag. Rub the ingredients into the meat and place in the refrigerator to marinate 2 hours.
  • After 2 hours, remove the meat from the bag and pat dry to remove any excess moisture. Lightly season both sides with salt and pepper. Set aside.
  • Spray an indoor, stovetop grill with nonstick cooking spray and preheat on medium-high heat. Place the steak on the preheated grill and grill about 6 minutes per side for medium rare. After grilling the steak, cover with tented foil and allow to rest for 10 minutes before thinly slicing across the grain.
