Ingredients
  

For the Skirt Steak
  • 1 lb skirt steak trimmed
  • 2 tbsp olive oil for marinade
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tbsp cumin
  • 1 tbsp paprika
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp lime juice freshly squeezed
For the Chimichurri Sauce

  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 tbsp red wine vinegar
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tsp red pepper flakes optional
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper

Method
 

Prepare the Marinade
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, cumin, paprika, salt, black pepper, and lime juice. Mix well.
Marinate the Steak
  1. Place the skirt steak in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over it. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best results.
Make the Chimichurri Sauce
  1. In a bowl, combine chopped parsley, olive oil, red wine vinegar, minced garlic, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
Grill the Steak
  1. Preheat the grill to high heat. Remove the steak from the marinade and grill for about 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness.
Serve
  1. Let the steak rest for 5 minutes before slicing against the grain. Serve with chimichurri sauce on the side.
