    Great grill out!

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    Perfect blend of flavors. Steak was tender and flavorful. The chimichuri was absolutely delicious. We added homemade... guacamole to top it all off.Read more

    Delicious, tender steak!

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    This steak was wonderful. The 2nd time I made it, I completely forgot to serve the chimichurri (ugh, all that work and money... for the herbs!) and it was still delicious. Be sure to get a true skirt steak. It will look pretty fatty/marbled but trust me, that's what makes it so good. Get the right kind of steak and DON'T overcook it. Serve it medium rare and not past medium. This got rave reviews. You MUST make Guy's Tequila Lime Tart with this. It is very easy and absolutely delicious. I got rave reviews for that each time I made it. The Chorizo, Spinach and Chick Pea Saute is also very good, but having sausage in a side dish was a little overkill with a steak dinner. The side dish makes a great lunch dish or even dinner, all on it's own.Read more

    Chimichurri Sauce was not tasty as others I have had but after adding a little Sherry and a jalapeno minced up the sauce had... a great bite. The steak was delicious. Read more

    Rated: 4 stars out of 5
    I made this recipe and the marinade and chimichurri sauce came out excelent! The skirt steak, which I had never used before... and will never again, was tough and chewy. Next time I will use filet mignon!Read more
