Ingredients

Scale

For the Chimichurri Sauce

  • 1 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • 1 cup fresh cilantro, finely chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/3 cup olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

For the Rice Bowls

  • 1 cup long-grain white or brown rice
  • 1 lb skirt steak
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (for searing steak)
  • Salt and pepper, to season steak

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chimichurri Sauce: Finely chop fresh parsley, cilantro, and garlic. In a bowl, mix the herbs with red wine vinegar, lemon juice, olive oil, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Let the sauce rest for at least 10 minutes to allow flavors to meld into a vibrant chimichurri.
  2. Cook the Rice: Rinse your chosen rice under cold water until clear. Cook according to package instructions until fluffy and tender. Keep warm while preparing the steak.
  3. Sear the Skirt Steak: Pat the skirt steak dry and season generously with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a cast-iron skillet or heavy pan over high heat. Sear the steak for about 3 minutes per side for medium-rare, or adjust to desired doneness. Let the steak rest before slicing thinly against the grain for maximum tenderness.
  4. Assemble the Bowls: Place a base of warm rice in serving bowls. Top with sliced skirt steak, then spoon chimichurri sauce generously over the top. Garnish with additional fresh herbs if desired and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Choose quality, well-marbled skirt steak for best results.
  • Allow steak to rest after cooking to retain juices.
  • Use fresh parsley and cilantro for a vibrant chimichurri flavor.
  • Slice steak against the grain for tender bites.
  • Include lemon juice and red wine vinegar to balance richness.
