Grilled Skirt Steak
Skirt steak with chimichurri sauce——it's a Latin flavor and as classic as the merengue. This thin cut of beef is inexpensive, but delivers big-dollar flavor. And the simple chimichurri sauce matches perfectly with this quick grill.
Ingredients
Trim off Fat and Silverskin:
1 1 1/2 - 2 lb. skirt steak (flank steak may be substituted)
Marinate Steak in:
3 T. olive oil
3 T. fresh lime juice
2 T. brown sugar
1⁄2 t. crushed red pepper flakes
2 cloves garlic, minced
Directions
Trim off as much fat as possible from both sides of skirt steak. Some of it is loosely attached and can be removed by hand. Otherwise, use a knife for places where it's firmly attached. Trim off as much silverskin as you can.
Marinate steak in olive oil, lime juice, brown stugar, crushed red pepper flakes, and garlic for 15–30 minutes. Preheat grill. When hot, remove steak from marinade and season with salt and pepper. Place steak on grill, cover, and cook until seared, 2–3 min. Flip steak over, cover, and cook another 2–3 min. Transfer meat to a cutting board, tent with foil, and let steak rest 5–8 minutes before slicing.

Page 8: Cooking instructions
Use a metal pan -- NOT a glass baking dish -- to roast the vegetables for the salsa verde, and preheat the oven to 450 degrees. (Placing room temperature vegetables in a glass baking dish that had been preheated to 500 as depicted in the original version of the recipe may cause the glass baking dish to shatter.)
