skirt steak with chimichurri sauce!


i am a steak girl ! i can eat it for breakfast, lunch and dinner! (seriously!) we probably eat rib eye about 4 times a week! that's a lot of red meat! when Corey proposed to me , he did so at a fabulous steak restaurant in winter park now called Christiners formally known as Del Frisco's. anyway i swear they have the best steak ever ! worth every bit of my $85 dollars! i love their steak so much so i actually spoke to the chef and he told me exactly how to make it. and im telling you, you cant tell the difference! i say all of that to say this: it takes a lot for me to stray from eating my usual rib eye. and that's what makes this post extra special. because tonight i'm bragging about my new found love, this skirt steak ! it is SO DAMN GOOD! its something about the rub its mixed with so many wonderful spices that go so well together. and the little bit of brown sugar caramelizes against the butter which sears it really well. i promise you it is so good not only do you not even need the chimichurri sauce but it will probably become a weekly favorite :)
