Skirt Steak with Homemade Chimichurri

Made some homemade chimichurri sauce a few days ago. a little red wine vinegar from TJ's, fresh flat leaf parsley, a little hot pepper flakes, several cloves of garlic, a bit of salt, lime juice (it's what I had), and lots of nice extra virgin olive oil. All the recipes I found called for oregano too, but I couldn't find any, so just parsley it is.



Seared up a nice piece of skirt steak in the cast iron pan to my desired doneness (for me, medium rare to rare), and spooned the chimichurri on top. Would've been nice with some corn, but alas I forgot to buy another bag in TJ's this weekend so I made up my last box of Near East pilaf.

The chimichurri wasn't as flavorful as I would've hoped. It may have been from the missing oregano and it definitely needs salt, but otherwise, not bad!



[update: unfortunately, Fresh & Easy's product line might be as fickle as TJ's, they don't have skirt steak anymore :( ]
