Ingredients

1 lb skirt steak, trimmed
2 tbsp Chimichurri seasoning
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp kosher salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
Lime wedges, for serving

Made with Instant Chimichurri Mix $14.99

Steps

Pat the skirt steak dry and rub all sides with olive oil, salt, pepper, and Chimichurri seasoning.
Preheat a cast‑iron skillet over high heat until just smoking.
Sear the steak for 3 minutes per side until it develops a dark crust.
Transfer to a cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing against the grain.
Serve with lime wedges and any juices from the cutting board.

A thorough pat dry prevents steaming and helps the Chimichurri crust stick to the meat.

Why this works

The garlic and herbs in Chimichurri caramelize quickly, giving the steak a seared crust while cutting through the richness of the beef.
