Ingredients
2 jalapeño chilis
2 cups cilantro leaves and sprigs, finely chopped
2 cups parsley leaves and sprigs, finely chopped
2 medium cloves garlic, minced
3 tablespoons juice from 3 to 4 limes
3 tablespoons dry red wine
1 tablespoon red-wine vinegar
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for brushing
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 pounds skirt steak
Directions
Prepare a grill or turn on a broiler . Grill or char the jalapeños until blackened on all sides and quite soft, about 5 minutes total. Place them in a small bowl covered with a plate or towel and allow the skins to steam and loosen. Peel, stem, and seed the chilis. In a small food processor or blender, combine the jalapeños, cilantro, parsley, garlic, lime juice, red wine, olive oil, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Pulse until the mixture is a coarse puree. Taste and adjust for salt and blend again. If a grill is not already prepared, heat a grill pan over high heat. Rub the steaks with olive oil and season very generously with salt and pepper. Grill until medium rare, 2 to 4 minutes per side depending on thickness . Remove to a plate and allow to rest for at least 5 minutes. Slice the steak across the grain with the knife at a 45 degree angle. Arrange on a serving plate and spoon some chimichurri over the steak. Serve with the extra sauce.
