- FOR THE CHIMICHURRI
- 4–5 cloves garlic, finely chopped (I looooove garlic, so I most definitely use 5)
- 2 1/2 T white vinegar
- 1 large handful cilantro, finely chopped
- 1 large handful parsley, finely chopped
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp pepper
- 1/2 tsp oregano
- 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
- 1/2 c olive oil
- 1 T lemon juice
Instructions
- Prepare the chimichurri sauce by adding all ingredients to your blender or food processor; pulse until creamy.
- Season both sides of the steak with salt and pepper and a few large spoonfuls of chimichurri; let marinate for 20-30 minutes.
- In the meantime, prepare the quinoa or rice and prep the other bowl ingredients so that you’re ready to assemble when the steak is done.
- Heat oil in a large cast iron skillet over medium high heat. When the oil is hot, add the skirt steak to the pan. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side. Remove the steak from the pan and let rest for 5 minutes before thinly slicing.
- To assemble the bowls, add romaine, rice/quinoa, black beans, steak, avocado, tomatoes, jalepeno, red onion, radishes, queso fresca, lime wedges and cilantro. Top with a generous amount of chimichurri and dig in!
