Ingredients
Scale
For the Steak
- 2 pounds skirt or flat iron steak, room temperature
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
For the Chimichurri Sauce
- 1¼ cup chimichurri sauce
Instructions
- Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill on high heat to get it nice and hot for searing the steak.
- Season the Steak: Pat the steak dry with paper towels to ensure a good sear. Season all over with the kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- Grill the Steak: Place the steak on the hot grill and cook without moving it for 4 to 5 minutes to develop a slight char. Flip and cook for an additional 3 to 5 minutes for medium-rare (135°F), 5 to 7 minutes for medium (140°F), or 8 to 10 minutes for medium-well (150°F).
- Rest the Steak: Transfer the steak to a cutting board and tent loosely with foil. Let it rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
- Slice and Serve: Slice the steak against the grain into thin strips. Serve warm with the chimichurri sauce on the side or spooned over the top.
Notes
- Allow the steak to come to room temperature before grilling to ensure even cooking.
- Resting the steak after grilling is critical to keep it juicy and tender.
- Slicing against the grain helps maximize tenderness.
- Chimichurri sauce can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
