Steak Rice Bowls Chimichurri (Printable Version)

Juicy skirt steak sliced thin, served on rice, drizzled with fresh chimichurri, and finished with mix-and-match toppings.

# What You'll Need:

→ Steak

01 - About 1½ to 2 pounds of skirt steak
02 - 1½ tsp coarse salt
03 - A pinch of finely ground black pepper
04 - 2 tbsp light, neutral oil (like avocado, canola, or grapeseed)

→ For Serving

05 - 1 cup of chimichurri made with cilantro
06 - 2-3 cups of plain white rice that’s already prepared
07 - Optional: fresh cilantro leaves
08 - Optional: flaky salt for sprinkling
09 - Optional: tangy pickled red onions
10 - Optional: lime slices for squeezing

# Steps to Follow:

01 - Use a paper towel to dry off the steak. Sprinkle salt and pepper on all sides of the meat. Let it sit at room temp for at least 15 minutes.
02 - Whip up your cilantro chimichurri following the directions you prefer.
03 - Warm up a cast-iron pan on high for 5 minutes, so it’s super hot. Pour in the oil, then carefully lay the steak in. Cook for 2-3 mins on each side for medium-rare (125-130°F).
04 - Let the cooked steak sit undisturbed for 5-10 minutes. Then, cut it thinly against the grain.
05 - Portion out rice into servings and add the sliced steak and chimichurri on top.
06 - Sprinkle on flaky salt and add your favorites, like lime, cilantro, or pickled onions.

# Additional Notes:

01 - Skirt steak can be replaced with another cut.
02 - Roasted plantains make a great side.
03 - Feel free to toss in veggies like avocado or corn.
