2-Stir chimichurri: Stir everything together until well blended.
3-Rest chimichurri: Let sit at room temperature for 10–15 minutes to meld flavors.

💡 Let the steak rest for the full 10 minutes under foil — this locks in juices for the most tender slices.
🔪 Always slice skirt steak against the grain to shorten muscle fibers and keep every bite tender.
🌡️ Use an instant-read thermometer and pull at 130-135°F for perfect medium-rare; skirt steak toughens past medium.
