A can't-fail Argentine classic—grilled skirt steak—is made even better with a choice of two chimichurri sauces: a red version made with cayenne, paprika, and saffron, and a traditional green one with garlic, parsley, vinegar, and herbs.

Servings: Serves 4
Ingredients
  • 2 skirt steaks (1 pound each), trimmed of all silver skin
  • 1 tsp. kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp. freshly ground pepper
  • 2 chimichurris (traditional and red)
  • Directions
    Preheat a gas grill or a ridged grill pan to medium-high heat or prepare a fire in a charcoal grill, letting the coals burn until covered with white ash.

    Season steaks with salt and pepper. Grill for 4 minutes on each side for medium-rare; 5 1/2 to 6 minutes for medium. Let rest 10 minutes before slicing thinly. Serve with chimichurri sauces.
