Ingredients

6 servings

•
Beef Skirt Steak(907g)
•
1 Teaspoon Kosher Salt, Plus More To Taste
•
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
•
Chimichurri sauce(300g)

Instructions

1Pat the beef skirt steak dry with paper towels and season all over with salt and pepper.
2Heat a large cast-iron skillet or heavy-bottomed pan over medium-high heat until a drop of water sizzles immediately on contact (about 2–3 minutes).
3Place the steak in the hot pan without moving it and cook 4–5 minutes until the bottom is deeply browned and charred. Flip and cook the other side 3–5 minutes for medium-rare (internal temperature 135°F), 5–7 minutes for medium (140°F), or 8–10 minutes for medium-well (150°F). Check doneness with a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part.
4Transfer the steak to a cutting board, tent loosely with foil, and rest 5 minutes.
5Slice the steak against the grain into ½-inch strips.
6Divide the sliced steak evenly into 6 airtight containers while still warm.
7Drizzle or portion the chimichurri sauce into each container or into separate small containers.
8Store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat gently over medium-low heat or enjoy cold.
