Ingredients
  

For the Skirt Steak
  • 1 pound skirt steak trimmed
  • 1 teaspoon salt to taste
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil for grilling
For the Chimichurri Sauce
  • 1 cup fresh parsley finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh oregano finely chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes optional
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon salt to taste
For the Rice
  • 2 cups white rice uncooked
  • 4 cups water for cooking rice
For Serving
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved
  • 1 avocado sliced
  • 1 cup corn cooked

Method
 

Prepare the Rice
  1. Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a rice cooker, combine the rice and water, then cook according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Make the Chimichurri Sauce
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the parsley, oregano, garlic, red pepper flakes, olive oil, red wine vinegar, and salt. Mix well and set aside.
Cook the Skirt Steak
  1. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Rub the skirt steak with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Grill the steak for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness.
  2. Remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing against the grain.
Assemble the Bowls
  1. In each bowl, add a serving of rice, top with sliced skirt steak, and drizzle with chimichurri sauce. Garnish with cherry tomatoes, avocado slices, and corn.

Notes

For a spicier chimichurri, increase the amount of red pepper flakes. This dish pairs well with a side of grilled vegetables.
