Dinner 25 Mins.

Ingredients

4

4 servings

  • 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
  • ¾ cup fresh cilantro
  • ½ cup olive oil
  • ¼ cup fresh oregano leaf, packed
  • ¼ cup red wine vinegar

Instructions

  • Heat a large cast-iron skillet over high heat until it begins to smoke.
  • Brush the steaks with the vegetable oil and season liberally with salt and pepper.
  • Place the steak in the skillet, working in batches as needed. Cook, flipping once halfway through, until charred on the outside and medium-rare inside, 4–8 minutes, depending on the thickness of the steak. If working in batches, wipe out the skillet between batches.
  • Transfer the steaks to a cutting board and let rest for 10 minutes.
  • Reduce the heat to medium-high. Add the garlic, shallots, and jalapeño and cook, turning as needed, until blackened in spots and softened, about 8 minutes.
  • Transfer the vegetables to a food processor or blender. Add the parsley, cilantro, olive oil, oregano, and vinegar and purée until smooth. Season the chimichurri with salt and pepper. You should have about 1 cup.
  • 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.
  • Enjoy!
