Preparation

Baking Directions:

1.

Combine all the chimichurri ingredients in blender and pulse for 1 minute, and set aside.

Season the sauce with salt and pepper, and taste.

The chimichurri may be prepared three days in advance and refrigerates well.

Kept refrigerated it will last for up to a week.

2.

Pound the skirt steak flat with a meat tenderizer, marinate with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, some crushed garlic cloves and sprigs of parsley and refrigerate for several hours.

3.

Cook the skirt steaks: Preheat a grill pan or cast iron skillet over medium heat for a minute before adding 1 tablespoon of olive oil.

Season the skirt steak with kosher salt and sear the first side for 2- 3 minutes before turning to cook the second side.

Cook to the desired degree of doneness.

Remove and allow to rest.

4.

Serve by slicing the skirt steaks into thin slices, always cutting the steaks across the grain of the meat for maximum tenderness.

Place the sliced steak on a platter and drizzle chimichurri sauce over the top.

5.

The sliced skirt steak is perfect when served with sliced tomato, onion and watercress.
