Ingredients

Scale
    • 1 pound skirt steak
    • 1/4 cup olive oil
    • 1/4 cup grape juice
    • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
    • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh oregano
    • 2 cloves garlic
    • minced
    • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
    • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Marinade: In a medium bowl whisk together olive oil, grape juice, chopped parsley, oregano, minced garlic, red pepper flakes, and a pinch of salt and pepper until well combined.
  2. Marinate the Skirt Steak: Place the steak in a resealable bag, pour the marinade over it, seal the bag removing excess air, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours (or overnight for maximum flavor).
  3. Preheat the Grill: Heat the grill to medium‑high, aiming for 400–450°F (204–232°C).
  4. Grill the Steak: Remove the steak, let excess liquid drip off, and grill directly over the hottest zone 4–5 minutes per side for medium‑rare, or until an internal temperature of 130°F (54°C) is reached.
  5. Rest the Meat: Transfer the steak to a cutting board and let it rest for 5 minutes.
  6. Make the Chimichurri Sauce: While the steak rests, combine any remaining parsley and oregano with a drizzle of olive oil, a splash of grape juice, and a pinch of red pepper flakes; stir until loosely blended.
  7. Slice and Serve: Slice the steak against the grain into thin strips, arrange on a platter, and drizzle the chimichurri sauce over the top.

Notes

  • For extra flavor
