How To Make Grilled Skirt Steak with Green and Smokey Red Chimichurri?

- Marinate the Steak: Coat the steak with the green chimichurri and refrigerate for 4 to 24 hours. Remove from the fridge 30 minutes before grilling.
- Prepare the Smokey Red Chimichurri: Grind 240g parsley, 120ml olive oil, 60ml red wine vinegar, 30g oregano, 15g chipotle, 15g paprika, 1g red pepper flakes, and 9g garlic in a mortar until smooth.
- Preheat the Grill: Preheat the grill to high heat.
- Grill the Steak: Season the steak with salt and pepper. Grill for 5 minutes per side for medium-rare.
- Rest and Slice the Steak: Let the steak rest for 5 minutes. Slice it against the grain.
- Serve the Steak: Top the steak with smokey red chimichurri and garnish with parsley leaves. Enjoy!
Recipe Tips:
- Let the Steak Rest Before Grilling: Take the steak out of the fridge 30 minutes before grilling. This helps it cook more evenly.
- Marinate for Maximum Flavor: For the best taste, marinate the steak for at least 4 hours, or up to 24 hours, to fully absorb the chimichurri flavors.
- Use a High-Heat Grill: Make sure your grill is preheated to high heat before cooking the steak. This helps get a nice char on the outside while keeping it juicy inside.
- Don’t Overcook the Steak: Grill the steak for 5 minutes on each side for medium-rare. Overcooking will make it tough.
- Slice Against the Grain: After resting, slice the steak against the grain to make it more tender and easier to eat.
How To Store & Reheat Leftovers?
- Refrigerate: Let the leftover steak cool to room temperature. Store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- Freeze: It can be frozen for up to 3 months.
- Reheat: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add a little oil or butter, and warm the steak for 2-3 minutes on each side.
