Grilled Beef Skirt Steak with Chimichurri
Serving Size:4|Prep Time:15minutes|Cook Time:15minutes
Directions
  1. Preheat grill or broiler to medium-high heat.
  2. Measure the onion, parsley, oregano, garlic, salt, black pepper and red chile flakes into a bowl. Add the olive oil and red wine vinegar and mix well.
  3. Measure the sunflower oil, coarse salt, pepper and smoked paprika onto plate or dish large enough to house the steak. Stir to combine, then roll the meat into the oil to season the meat.
  4. Place the meat on the grill and cook for about 3–5 minutes. Leaving the meat on the same side, rotate the meat a quarter turn. Cook another few minutes or until beads of juices appear to rise in the thickest parts of the meat. Turn and cook for 3- 5 minutes or until a stem thermometer reaches an internal temperature between 135°F and 145°F, medium rare to medium. Remove from the grill and keep warm. Let the meat relax for 5–10 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute through the meat.
  5. In a medium bowl add tomatoes, oil, herbs, coriander, salt and pepper, lightly toss to combine.
  6. Thinly slice the steak across the grain. Mound the meat at the center of a platter. Surround meat with the tomato salad. Spoon Chimichurri sauce on top and serve.
