Ingredients
  • 2 lbs Skirt steak
  • 1 cup Spanish Rioja
  • ½ cup flat leaf parsley, chopped fine
  • 3 tbsp garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp jalapeno, seeded and minced
  • 2 tbsp cilantro, chopped
  • 2 tbsp fresh mint leaves, chopped fine
  • 2 tbsp red wine vinegar
  • ⅓ cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 4½ tbsp lemon juice, freshly squeezed
  • 1 tbsp cumin powder
  • salt and red pepper flakes to taste
Instructions
  1. Marinate the Steak: Salt and pepper the steak and place in a shallow baking dish. Add garlic and some of the extra herbs from the Chimichurri and the Rioja. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, turning at least once.
  2. Make the Chimichurri: In a food processor, pulse the garlic and jalapeno until finely chopped. Add the parsley, cilantro, mint and EVOO. Transfer to a mixing bowl and stir in the red wine vinegar, lemon juice and cumin powder. Add salt and red pepper flakes to taste.
  3. Grill the steak: Preheat grill to high heat. Drain excess marinade and cook steak for approximately 2-3 minutes each side, or until well seared on the outside and rare on the inside. Remove from heat and transfer to a cutting board. Let rest for 5 minutes. Cut the meat into 3-4 inch strips.
  4. Arrange on plate with Haricorts Verts and baby potatoes. Garnish with generous serving of Chimichurri on top. Serve with extra sauce on the table.
