Here’s what you need: 1-2lbs of skirt steak (flank steak or flat iron also make good substitutes) 18-20 wooden skewers for grilling Chimichurri Sauce (recipe to follow) IMG_5643 The day before cut the skirt steaks in half with the grain. Hold your knife at a slight angle and slice each piece of steak into strips. The angle creates wider strips. IMG_5644 Season the strips of skirt steak with salt and ground red pepper. Place the strips into a large ziplock storage bag and add half of the chimichurri sauce (recipe to follow). Place the bag in the refrigerator over night (at least 4 hrs). Soak the wood skewers in water for about an hour to prevent burning. Remove the skirt steak strips from the marinade and thread onto the skewers. While the steak is coming up to room temp, Prepare a charcoal grill for direct grilling.
