I have the most perfect dinner that doubles as an easy weeknight idea or a fancy dinner to share with your friends. This steak was so easy to put together! A simple marinade and 8 -10 minutes under the broiler to a perfect, juicy steak! I blended up an easy chimichurri sauce to drizzle on top of the steak to bring out the amazing flavors and it was perfection! The bright herbaceous flavors were incredible. You can use it as a dipper or drizzle on top. This is a keeper and one you need to add to your rotation! Serve with a Syrah or bold Shiraz and you can’t go wrong!

S&P to Taste
Directions
- To begin, in a gallon sized ziplock bag, Add all ingredients for marinade and mix well. Add your skirt steak and coat well. Place steak in the fridge and marinate for 30 minutes to 2 hours. I like to marinate for 2 hours. It gives you a very flavorful, juicy steak!
- While your steak is marinating, add all ingredients for chimichurri to a high powered blender and blend until smooth
- Preheat your broiler on high. Remove steak from marinade and blot with paper towel to remove excess juice. Place your steak under the broiler on a sheet pan. Broil for 4-5 minutes on one side and flip to broil on second side for 4-5 minutes.
- Pull steak and rest for 10 minutes on cutting board until you slice.
- To slice your steak, the best method is to cut your steak in 2 to 3 sections with the grain and rotate 90 degrees. Slice those sections against the grain for the most tender pieces.
- Serve with your chimichurri sauce and DIVE IN!
Notes
- Taste and adjust your chimichurri as you go. I make this sauce so frequently and never measure anything. I just dump and blend until I get the flavor and consistency I like. LOL! The recipe above is a guide to get you started, but don’t be afraid to add more or less depending on your liking. You can even use different herbs. You can do whatever your heart desires!
- Skirt steak doesn’t take long at all to cook. It’s a cut of meat you don’t want to overcook, so I highly recommend pulling no more than at a 5 minutes per side cook.
- You can grill this steak also on a charcoal or propane grill. The same rule applies as to how long to grill it for.
