Whether you are eating Whole30, AIP, or keto, this paleo Skirt Steak is the perfect celebratory menu item that comes together quickly and easily! The chimichurri sauce adds the most wonderful flavor.
Is there anything better in this world than a properly grilled steak?? (No. The answer is no.) We grill steak about once every 2 weeks in our household and it’s definitely an indulgence. We only buy grass-fed, pasture-raised steaks from the farmers market, and that can get a bit pricy if we aren’t careful. And when it’s a special treat like that, I get pretty devastated if it doesn’t taste right.
Paleo Skirt Steak with Chimichurri Sauce Recipe
Thankfully, I’ve perfected my steak recipe over the past few years, and I love how it turns out almost every time now. And with the addition of my Creamy Chimichurri Sauce, it tastes amazing even when I overcook the steak sometimes.
Grilling Isn’t Necessary!
If you don’t own a grill, you can broil your paleo skirt steak or cook it on a cast-iron skillet. The creamy tartness of the chimichurri sauce complements the steak perfectly and I can’t believe I only discovered this combo recently.
Perfect for Leftovers
The best part, of course, is the leftovers, and I love to enjoy the steak the next day on a salad, tacos, or stir-fry. If you’ve been intimidated about cooking steak in the past, don’t be. It’s actually really easy, and the result is just so dang delicious!
