Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb skirt steak
  • 1 cup long-grain white rice (or jasmine rice)
  • 1/2 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. 1. Marinate the Steak: In a bowl, mix olive oil, red wine vinegar, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper. Place skirt steak in a resealable bag or dish and pour marinade over it. Let marinate for at least 1 hour (overnight is best).
  2. 2. Cook the Rice: Prepare rice according to package instructions. For added flavor, consider using chicken broth instead of water.
  3. 3. Make Chimichurri Sauce: In a food processor, blend parsley, garlic, olive oil, red wine vinegar, salt, and pepper until smooth but slightly chunky.
  4. 4. Grill the Steak: Heat grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Remove steak from marinade and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side until desired doneness.
  5. 5. Slice and Assemble: Allow the steak to rest for 5 minutes before slicing against the grain into thin strips. Serve over rice and drizzle with chimichurri sauce.
