Argentine Asado Skirt Steak with Chimichurri
Charred over blazing coals until crusted and smoky, this skirt steak is drenched in a bright, garlicky parsley chimichurri. Pure Argentine parrilla soul on a wooden board.
Ingredients
Serves 4- 2 lb skirt steak
- 1 cup flat-leaf parsley
- 5 clove garlic
- 3 tbsp red wine vinegar
- 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 2 tsp coarse sea salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
Optional
- 1 tsp red pepper flakes
Instructions
- 1
Finely chop the parsley and garlic, then stir together with vinegar, oregano, red pepper flakes and olive oil to make the chimichurri; let it sit at least 15 minutes.
- 2
Pat the skirt steak dry and season generously on both sides with coarse salt and black pepper.
- 3
Build a hot charcoal fire and let the coals ash over until you can hold a hand above the grate for only two seconds.
- 4
Lay the steak over the coals and grill 3 to 4 minutes per side for a deep char and medium-rare interior.
- 5
Transfer to a board and rest 8 minutes so the juices redistribute.
- 6
Slice thinly against the grain, spoon over the chimichurri, and serve with extra sauce alongside.
