Instructions

In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, minced garlic, red wine vinegar, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes to create the marinade.
Place skirt steak in a resealable bag or dish; pour half of the marinade over it. Seal and refrigerate for at least one hour (overnight for better flavor).
For chimichurri sauce, mix chopped parsley with minced garlic, additional red wine vinegar, olive oil, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes.
Preheat grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F/200°C) and lightly oil grates.
Remove skirt steak from the marinade (discard leftover marinade) and grill for about 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare doneness.
Let the steak rest for five minutes before slicing against the grain. Drizzle generously with chimichurri before serving.
