SKIRT STEAK WITH CHIMICHURRI SAUCE
The chimichurri is served & sold at many of the restaurants all over in Miami. It is one of things that caught on - big time. I am one of those people who doesn't like basil so I leave it out of the recipe. Inactive prep time: 2 hours 35 minutes. This recipe courtesy of Emeril Lagasse, 2005. Update 06/26/10 . . . . use less oil - instead of 1 cup bring it down to 1/2 cup and then work from there.

Steps:
- In the bowl of a food processor, combine the olive oil, sherry wine vinegar, lemon jucie, parsley, basil, oregano, garlic and shallots.
- Pulse until well blended but do not puree.
- Add 1/4 teaspoon of the black pepper, 1/2 teaspoon salt & the crushed red pepper flakes.
- Remove 1 cup of the chimichurri sauce from the processor and transfer to a non-reactive bowl, cover with plastic wrap and reserve at room temperature for up to 6 hours. (Can be made the day before.).
- If cooking steak another day, refrigerate sauce and return to room temperature before serving.
- Season the steak with 1 teaspoon salt on each side, as well 1/4 teaspoon of the black pepper per side and place in a large resealable plastic bag.
- Add the remaining chimichurri sauce from the processor.
- Seal bag and refrigerate the steak for at least 2 and up to 4 hours.
- Preheat a grill or oven to 350F - medium heat.
- Once the steak has finished marinating, remove it from the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature for 30 minutes.
- Brush the excess chimichurri sauce off the steak and set the steak over the hot grill or oven.
- Cook for 6 minutes on the first side.
- Rotate the steak 45 degrees and cook another 6 minutes.
- Turn the steak over and continue to cook until the steak is done, about 6-8 minutes for medium-rare.
- Once cooked, lay the steak on a clean cutting board, and allow it to rest for 5 to 7 minutes before slicing across the grain into 2-inch wide strips.
- Serve with crusty "warm" bread, the reserved chimichurri sauce, baked potatoes & some nice greens.
