  • ½ tsp. Dried Oregano
  • ½ cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil

  • 2 lbs. Churrasco (we used outside skirt steak, about 2 large pieces)
Method · 35 min
  1. Make the Chimichurri
  2. Wash the parsley thoroughly and pat dry. Chop it as fine as possible.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Remove the steaks from the refrigerator and let them sit out for a few minutes to take the chill off prior to grilling.
  6. Season the steaks with a generous amount of salt, about 1 teaspoon.
  7. Cook the steaks on a preheated grill over moderately high heat for a few minutes on each side until the desired doneness is reached.
  8. 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.
  9. Serve the churrasco with the chimichurri
