Ingredients

For the Marinade and Grilling:

  • 2/3 cup olive oil
  • 1/2 cup fresh orange juice
  • 1/3 cup fresh lime juice
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
  • 3 tablespoons apple cider or red wine vinegar
  • 4 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 pound skirt steak
  • Salt and pepper to taste

For the Chimichurri Sauce:

  • 1 cup fresh parsley
  • 1 cup fresh cilantro
  • 1/4-1/3 cup olive oil
  • 1/2 medium onion diced
  • 3 garlic cloves
  • 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • Optional: 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Instructions

For the Marinade and Grilling:

  • Whisk all of the ingredients together and pour into a large ziploc bag.
  • Add skirt steak to ziploc bag with marinade and allow to marinade up to 6-7 hours max depending on how thick the meat is.
  • When ready to grill, liberally season with salt and pepper.
  • Grill until golden brown and perfectly charred then allow to rest before slicing on a cutting board.

For the Chimichurri:

  • Add all of the ingredients to a heavy duty blender or food processor and blend until everything is chopped up and smooth then serve. Seriously that easy.

Notes

How to Store & Reheat this Skirt Steak Marinade with Chimichurri
  • Fridge: Wrap leftover skirt or flank steak in foil or store it in an airtight container, then pop it in the fridge. It will stay good for 3-4 days. Keep the chimichurri in a sealed jar or container in the fridge for up to a week.
  • Freezer: Slice the steak, wrap it up tight in plastic and foil, then tuck it into a freezer bag. It will hold up for about 2 months. The chimichurri can be frozen too, just spoon it into an airtight container or ice cube tray for up to 2 months.
  • Reheating: Let the steak sit out for 15-20 minutes, then warm it in a hot skillet or on the grill until heated through. Skip the microwave if you wanna keep it juicy. The chimichurri should stay chilled and be spooned on cold or at room temp, never reheated.
