Ingredients
- 1 lb skirt steak
- 1 cup long-grain white rice
- 1 cup fresh parsley leaves
- 3 garlic cloves
- ¼ cup red wine vinegar
- ½ cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Rinse the rice under cold water until clear. Combine rice and water in a pot (1:2 ratio), bring to boil, then cover and simmer on low heat for about 18 minutes.
- While the rice cooks, season the skirt steak with salt and pepper. Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat and sear the steak for 3-4 minutes per side for desired doneness.
- In a food processor, combine parsley, garlic, red wine vinegar, olive oil, red pepper flakes, and salt. Pulse until chunky.
- Let the steak rest for five minutes before slicing against the grain into thin strips.
- In bowls, layer fluffy rice, sliced steak, and drizzle generously with chimichurri sauce. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired.
