I know I don’t post a lot of red meat recipes, but I still enjoy a good steak, and since we don’t eat red meat very often when we do I buy it hormone free, and grass fed. When you are spending a bit more on a meat, and not eating it often, you want to make every bite count.
Jillian Michaels was on the Today Show and this recipe sounded DELICIOUS! Guess what? It is!
This is from her new cookbook (which I do not have, but plan to get) “Master Your Metabolism”.
Grilled Skirt Steak with Chimichurri Sauce
Jillian Michaels “Master your Metabolism Cookbook”
Serves four
INGREDIENTS
• 1/4 cup chopped red onion • 3 garlic cloves • 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes • 1/2 cup packed flat- leaf parsley leaves • 2 tablespoons packed fresh oregano leaves • 1/4 cup extra- virgin olive oil • 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar • 1/4 teaspoon salt • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper • 1 pound skirt steak • Olive oil spray, for the grill
DIRECTIONS
In the work bowl of a food processor, place the onion, garlic, and red pepper flakes. Pulse until finely chopped. Add the parsley and oregano leaves, and pulse until the herbs are coarsely chopped. Add the olive oil, vinegar, and salt and pepper.
Place the skirt steak in a shallow pan and pour 1/3 cup of the chimichurri sauce over it. Turn to coat well. Cover and refrigerate, preferably for at least four hours and up to overnight. Cover and refrigerate the remaining sauce.
- If using a gas or charcoal grill, spray the grill with olive oil and prepare a medium-hot grill. If using a grill pan, spray it with olive oil and heat over medium-high heat.
- Grill the steak for four to five minutes per side for medium-rare.
- Let stand on a cutting board for 5 to 10 minutes. Thinly slice the steak and divide among four plates.
- Top each serving with one generous teaspoon of chimichurri sauce and serve.
