Whisk in parsley and cilantro and let the mixture stand for 1 hour.
For the chimichurri aioli: Add mayonnaise to a mixing bowl and slowly whisk in 1/2 cup chimichurri until combined well.
For the caramelized onions: Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add blended oil and the onions. Cook until translucent, then add the brown sugar. Add the salt and pepper and cook until desired color is achieved.
For the skirt steak burger: Add the meats and 2 cups chimichurri to a large mixing bowl and mix until well incorporated. Form into 8-ounce patties.
Preheat a grill for cooking at high heat.
Grill patties until they have crosshatch marks, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Add patties to buns and drizzle the bun tops with caramelized onions and chimichurri aioli.
