Churrasco a La Parilla (Grilled Skirt Steak)

Steps

1. 1Cut the steaks into manageable pieces. If the pieces are too big, they can be difficult to maneuver in the pan.
2. 2Dry them well with a paper towel. If they are moist they won’t brown. Lightly coat the steaks with 1-2 tablespoons of oil. Season both sides with salt and pepper then mix them around so the salt rubs into the meat and doesn’t stay at the surface.
3. 3Heat a cast iron pan or large griddle to medium low.
4. 4Place the steaks on the pan and raise the heat to medium. Cook on the first side for about 4-5 minutes. Once you see the sides of the steak curling and becoming less red you can flip to the other side. For medium rare to medium cook another 3 to 5 minutes on the other side.
5. 5Once your steaks are done, remove them from the pan and let them rest on a sheet pan or plate. When 5 minutes have passed, slice them against the grain and serve. (If you slice alongside the grain of the meat it can be very stringy and tough)
6. 6Drizzle with chimichurri or serve it on the side.
