Grilled Skirt Steaks



It's summer summer summer summertime and in the summertime..I'm of course going to be talking about grilling..
You know that I love Steaks...prepared any kind of way...So why wouldn't I write a post about grilling steaks? Huh? Why wouldn't I?

This no-fail Argentine classic, Grilled skirt steak, is even better with a choice of two chimichurri sauces: a red version made with cayenne, paprika, and saffron, and a traditional green one with garlic, parsley, vinegar, and herbs.

INGREDIENTS:

2 (1 pound each) skirt steaks, trimmed of all silver skin

1 teaspoon(s) kosher salt

1/2 teaspoon(s) freshly ground pepper

2 chimichurris (traditional and red)


DIRECTIONS:

1. Preheat a gas grill or a ridged grill pan to medium-high heat or prepare a fire in a charcoal grill, letting the coals burn until covered with white ash.

2. Season steaks with salt and pepper.

3. Grill for 4 minutes on each side for medium-rare; 5 1/2 to 6 minutes for medium.

4. Let rest 10 minutes before slicing thinly.

Serve with chimichurri sauces.

Enjoy!

  1. What could be more perfect than grilled steaks paired with cold beer during summer? With the chimichurri sauce, I usually add a bit more of red jalapeƱo or Fresno chile for extra spiciness. YUM!!!

  3. Yummy! Summertime is the best time for our family to bond more often, and grilled steaks has always been a part of our meals. It’s the family’s favorite, especially when Mom does the seasoning. :) Thanks for this recipe and I’ll try to make this in our next get together.
