Ingredients
1/3 cup sherry vinegar
3 scallions, roughly chopped
2 cloves garlic
1 small bunch cilantro, stems included, roughly chopped (about 1 1/4 cups)
1/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon olive oil, plus more for brushing
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 3/4-pound skirt steak, cut into 4 pieces
12 ounces shishito peppers
1/2 teaspoon ground Aleppo pepper or chili powder
Juice of 1/2 lime
Directions
- Add the vinegar, scallions, garlic, cilantro, 1/3 cup of the olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt and a generous amount of pepper to a blender. Blend until smooth. Reserve 1/3 cup. Marinate the skirt steak in a large resealable plastic bag with the remaining chimichurri for 2 hours or up to overnight.
- Preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat and brush the grates with oil.
- Remove the steak from the marinade, wipe off most of the excess marinade and sprinkle both sides with salt. Grill the steak, flipping once, until an instant-read thermometer registers 125 degrees F, 4 to 5 minutes per side (you may need to pull the thinner pieces of steak off first as they will cook quicker). Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Wipe the grill clean and reduce the heat to medium.
- Meanwhile, toss the shishito peppers with the remaining 1 tablespoon oil, Aleppo pepper and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Grill, flipping occasionally, until the peppers are blistered in spots and have softened, about 6 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and toss with the lime juice.
- Divide the peppers and steak among 4 plates and spoon the reserved chimichurri sauce over the top of the steak.
