- 1 Bunch Parsley (1 cup firmly packed or 2 cups if not packed firmly)
- 1 Large Garlic Clove (minced or grated)
- ½ tsp. Dried Oregano
- ½ cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 2 tbsp. Red Wine Vinegar
- 2 tsp. Kosher Salt (divided)
- ¼ tsp. Black Pepper (or to taste)
- ¼ tsp. Red Pepper Flakes (or to taste)
- 2 lbs. Churrasco (we used outside skirt steak, about 2 large pieces)
- Make the Chimichurri
- Wash the parsley thoroughly and pat dry. Chop it as fine as possible.
- Add the chopped parsley to a medium bowl. Add the oregano, garlic, 1 tsp. salt, black pepper, red pepper flakes, olive oil and vinegar. Stir the chimichurri well until all of the ingredients are combined.
- Refrigerate the chimichurri for at least one hour to allow the flavors to meld together. Remove it from the refrigerator and allow to come to room temperature before serving.
- Remove the steaks from the refrigerator and let them sit out for a few minutes to take the chill off prior to grilling.
- Season the steaks with a generous amount of salt, about 1 teaspoon.
- Cook the steaks on a preheated grill over moderately high heat for a few minutes on each side until the desired doneness is reached.
- Let the steaks rest for a few minutes prior to slicing to allow the juices to redistribute. Slice skirt or flap steak against the grain, in order to avoid though, chewy meat.
