Ingredients for Chimichurri Skirt Steak (Serves 4)

1.5 lbs skirt steak
¾ cup WARFACE Chimichurri Blend Marinade

How to Make Chimichurri Skirt Steak

1. Marinate the Steak

Coat the skirt steak with the WARFACE Chimichurri Blend Marinade, ensuring it’s evenly covered for maximum flavor. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 48 hours for a deeper marinade infusion.

2. Heat Your Grill or Skillet

Preheat your grill or a skillet to medium-high heat. Allow it to heat thoroughly to achieve that perfect sear.

3. Cook the Steak

Remove the steak from the marinade and gently shake off any excess liquid. Grill or sear the steak for about 3-4 minutes per side to achieve a medium-rare doneness, or adjust to your personal preference. Keep a close eye on the meat since skirt steak cooks quickly!

4. Rest and Slice

After cooking, allow the steak to rest for 5 minutes to retain all those delicious juices. Slice the steak thinly against the grain for maximum tenderness.

Tips for the Perfect Chimichurri Skirt Steak

Choose Quality Steak: Skirt steak is perfect for its bold beef flavor, but flank steak is a good alternative if needed.
Don’t Skip the Resting Time: Resting ensures all the juices stay locked in, keeping the steak tender.
Slice Against the Grain: This breaks down the muscle fibers and guarantees melt-in-your-mouth bites.
Double Up on Chimichurri: Reserve some marinade to drizzle over the steak for an extra burst of flavor before serving. Grab yours here!
