Ingredients

Directions

In the bowl of a food processor, combine the olive oil, sherry vinegar, lemon juice, parsley, basil, oregano, garlic and shallots. Pulse until well blended but do not puree. Add 1/4 teaspoon of the black pepper, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and the crushed red pepper. Remove 1 cup of the chimichurri sauce from the processor and transfer to a non-reactive bowl, cover with plastic wrap and reserve at room temperature for up to 6 hours. (If cooking steak another day, refrigerate sauce and return to room temperature before serving.)

Season the steak with 1 teaspoon of the kosher salt on each side, as well as 1/4 teaspoon of the black pepper per side and place in a large, resealable plastic bag. Add the remaining chimichurri sauce from the processor. Seal bag and refrigerate the steak for at least 2 and up to 4 hours.

Preheat a grill to medium heat.

Once the steak has finished marinating, remove it from the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature for 30 minutes. Brush the excess chimichurri sauce off the steak and set the steak over the hot grill. Cook for 6 minutes on the first side. Rotate the steak 45 degrees, and cook another 6 minutes. Turn the steak over and continue to cook until the steak is done, about 6 to 8 minutes for medium-rare. Once cooked, lay the steak on a clean cutting board, and allow it to rest for 5 to 7 minutes before slicing across the grain into 2-inch wide strips. Serve with crusty bread and the reserved chimichurri sauce.

    Easy, yummy, better than the chimichurri steak at my local latin restaurants. It's now a regular in my dinner repertoire. Thanks Emeril!

    Amazing flavor... I only wish i marinated it for more than 2 hours. I used flank steak because my Safeway didnt have any skirt steak... just as well, the meat was very tender. I should have left it on the grill a little longer than 8 minutes after the cross hatches were made, because it turned about a little more rare than med-rare. Anyway, great sauce! Great recipe. I served mine with Emeril's fried bellpepper recipe, I used bellpepper and onions! it was a wonderful pair!

    I have made this recipe at least eight times. It has become a staple of my repertoire. Absolutely phenomenal on grilled steak. Sometimes I marinate the steak in the sauce and sometimes I don't. Either way the sauce is just an explosion of flavors. I made this and had my neighbors try it and now their school age kids ask me to make it for them for their birthdays. It is THAT good. Also, as long as you are using fresh herbs it is pretty hard to screw up. You can just stick it all in a blender and you are just about done.
