Churrasco & Chimichurri Sauce

ISSA STEAK NIGHT! 

 

So you guys pretty much went crazy over this on Friday, so I might as well share the love. Skirt steak is literally my favorite cut of beef. Now don’t get me wrong, filet is alright but the texture is just off  for me. If I went to a steakhouse and had a choice, skirt steak wins every single time. Not just any old skirt steak though, it has to be churrasco with chimichurri sauce. Ugh! The sauce is just amazing.

 

My first time having it was at my engagement dinner, I knew I loved skirt steak but they had this weird green shit that came with it. My right titty Cynise told me that it was really good so I trusted her judgement. Oh, btw my right titty basically means my best friend. ( the hubby is my left) The combination of this beefy ass beef and this weird green shit was the most DELECTABLE thing I had ever eaten. Now it’s pretty much my go to when we go out to eat.

One thing I hate about going out for steak is that it is so DAYUM expensive,  I get it the sweaty guy in the back needs to get paid for his steak finessing skills. BUT GUESS WHAT?!  Shawty is cheap and I learned how to make it on my own.

(sidebar) I have these annoying ass claw nails and I am having THEE hardest time typing this out. Like how do yall do this? If I backspace one more damn time, I’m ripping them off.

ANYHOO, Let’s get to the recipe.
