Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb skirt steak
  • 1 cup long-grain white rice
  • 1/2 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)
  • Juice of 1 lime

Instructions

  1. Prepare the marinade by mixing olive oil, minced garlic, lime juice, red wine vinegar, and red pepper flakes in a bowl.
  2. Place skirt steak in a zip-top bag, pour half of the marinade over it, seal tightly, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (up to 4 hours).
  3. Rinse rice under cold water until clear. Combine with 2 cups salted water in a pot; bring to boil. Reduce heat to low and cover until cooked (about 18-20 minutes).
  4. Preheat grill or skillet over high heat. Remove steak from marinade (discard leftover marinade) and grill each side for about 3-4 minutes until medium-rare.
  5. For chimichurri sauce, blend parsley, garlic, red wine vinegar, lime juice, and olive oil until finely chopped but chunky.
  6. Fluff rice with a fork; serve in bowls topped with sliced steak and chimichurri sauce.
