Nothing beats the bold, smoky flavor of a perfectly grilled skirt steak—except when it’s topped with bright, herb-packed Argentinian chimichurri. This recipe brings together juicy, flame-seared beef and a zesty homemade sauce made from fresh parsley, garlic, oregano, red wine vinegar, and olive oil.
We used the Gemelli Home Gourmet Steak Grille, which heats up to 1560°F with infrared ceramic power—ideal for achieving that deep char and caramelization that skirt steak needs in under 10 minutes.

🧊 Refrigerated (Homemade Chimichurri)
Shelf Life: 5–7 days
Tips:
Store in an airtight container or glass jar.
Always use a clean spoon to scoop it.
Expect some color darkening over time — that’s normal due to oxidation.
❄️ Freezer Storage
Shelf Life: 2–3 months
Tips:
Freeze in small portions (ice cube trays work great).
Thaw in the fridge, not on the counter, for best quality.
The texture may change slightly, but flavor remains solid.
🧂 Oil Preservation Hack (Extended Fridge Life)
Cover the top with a thin layer of olive oil to reduce oxidation.
This can extend fridge life to up to 2 weeks.
