BRAZILIAN-STYLE BARBECUED STEAK WITH A GARLICKY MARINADE AND DIPPING SAUCE
Steps:
- Prepare the Chimichurri Rojo, and then pour 2/3 cup of it into a resealable plastic bag and combine with the skirt steaks. (Reserve the rest of the sauce to use as a condiment.) Refrigerate overnight.
- To cook the steaks, prepare a medium-hot grill.
- Remove steaks from the marinade, and grill to desired doneness. (Because they are thin and have been marinated overnight, they will cook very quickly.)
- Divide each steak into two, and place each in the center of a warm plate. Season with salt and pepper, sprinkle chopped olives and minced parsley over each steak. Serve with the reserved Chimichurri Rojo on the side.

CHURRASCO (GRILLED MARINATED SKIRT STEAK)
Like so many of the best Puerto Rican dishes, churrasco - garlicky wood-fire-grilled steak served with chimichurri - starts by tenderizing a tougher cut of meat (skirt steak) with a flavorful marinade. Although its origins are Argentinian and Brazilian (the word churrasco encompassing grilled meats in both Spanish and Portuguese), variations on the dish are Latin American staples. This recipe kicks up a classic Puerto Rican marinade with a bit of adobo seasoning, and then served with wasakaka, an herbaceous sauce from the Dominican Republic using lime juice. The steak should be grilled over an open fire (the smoke is key), but a gas grill will do, as will a cast-iron skillet. Serve with adobo roasted potatoes, maduros, white rice or arroz mamposteao, plus fresh tomato and avocado slices.

Steps:
- Pat the steaks dry and place in a large zip-top bag.
- Combine the garlic, oregano, vinegar, olive oil, adobo seasoning and salt in the bowl of a pilón or mortar and pestle, or a small food processor. Grind into a thin paste, then pour the marinade over the steak. Zip the bag then shake well to coat the meat, rubbing in gently as needed. Let rest on the counter for 10 to 20 minutes, or refrigerate overnight if you have time. Be sure to let the steak come to room temperature before grilling.
- If using a charcoal grill, start by building a fire with hardwood and kindling, then adding lump hardwood charcoal once the fire is kicking. Allow the fire to mellow. If using a gas grill, set the temperature to 500 degrees.
- Meanwhile, make the wasakaka: Combine the lime juice, parsley, cilantro, oregano, olive oil, garlic, salt and pepper in a small bowl and whisk to incorporate. If you'd like a creamier sauce, blend in a small food processor or blender. (Wasakaka will keep for 3 or 4 days in a sealed jar in the refrigerator.)
- Once the grill is ready, remove skirt steak from the bag and shake off excess marinade. Place on the grill and sear for 1 to 3 minutes. Using tongs, pull up the corner to ensure the steak has a good dark char, bordering on burned in places, before flipping, then cook for 1 more minute for rare, 2 minutes for medium-rare. Be careful not to overcook or steak will be tough.
- Remove steak from grill and let rest for 5 to 7 minutes. Slice into strips and pour over wasakaka, or serve sauce on the side. Taste and sprinkle with additional salt, if desired.
