Ingredients:
Here’s a concise list of all the ingredients you’re going to need:
- 2 pounds skirt steak, trimmed
- 1 cup of beer (the darker, the better)
- 4 cloves of garlic, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons of coarse salt
- 1 tablespoon of black pepper
- 1 tablespoon of chili flakes
- ½ cup olive oil
Churrasco Marinade:
- 1 cup of flat-leaf parsley, chopped
- 3 cloves of garlic, chopped
- 1/3 cup of red wine vinegar
- 2/3 cup of olive oil
- 1 teaspoon of salt
- 1 teaspoon of ground black pepper
Instructions:
Now that you’ve got everything in place, let’s get started with the recipe:
- In a large bowl, combine the beer, garlic, coarse salt, black pepper, chili flakes, and olive oil. Stir until the salt dissolves.
- Immerse the skirt steak in the marinade, making sure it’s fully coated. Seal the bowl tightly and refrigerate for at least 4 hours. For better results, let it marinate overnight.
- While the steak marinates, let’s prepare the churrasco sauce. In a food processor, add the parsley, garlic, vinegar, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Process until it becomes a coarse puree, then set aside.
- Heat your grill to high heat. Remove the steak from the marinade, letting the excess drip off. Grill the steak for about 4 mins on each side for a medium-rare.
- Let the steak rest for a few minutes before slicing it against the grain. Serve it with the churrasco sauce.
