Skirt Steak with Chimichurri and Spiced Corn

4.5
2 ratings
This recipe takes skirt steak, a relatively inexpensive cut of beef, and combines it with a flavorful chimichurri sauce to bring out the best in both. The spiced corn is a welcome compliment to the dish’s flavors and adds just a pinch of sweetness.

step 1
Tenderize Skirt Steak (1.3 lb) Lay it flat on a cutting board and cover with plastic wrap. Wack it with a meat tenderizer until it is the same thickness throughout. My steak ended up just a little over a half-inch thick.
