Step 1
Blitz parsley, garlic, vinegar, olive oil, and red pepper flakes in a food processor until bright green and chunky.
Step 2
Pat the skirt steak dry. Season generously with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Step 3
Heat a 12-inch cast iron skillet over high heat until it smokes, about 2 minutes.
Step 4
Lay the steak in the pan without moving. Sear for 2 minutes until the bottom is dark and charred.
Step 5
Flip once and sear the other side for 90 seconds. Center should feel soft when poked—that's medium-rare.
Step 6
Transfer to a plate and rest 3 minutes. Slice against the grain and drizzle with chimichurri.
