Skirt Steak Salad
with chimichurri dressing
Chimichurri and steak are a perfect combo and everyone will love them with some sweet and crunchy grilled bell peppers and mushrooms in this fresh salad. When this recipe was first included in a meal plan in May 2016 we recommended using the grill, but we've brought it indoors this time and get a nice sear under the oven's broiler.

Make
- Arrange the top rack of the oven so it’s about 6” / 15cm from the broiler. Turn on the oven's broiler.
- Place steak and bell peppers and mushrooms on a sheet pan. Brush bell peppers and mushrooms with some oil and sprinkle with some salt and pepper. Broil peppers and mushrooms for 5 minutes on each side and steak for 3 to 4 minutes on each side, depending on desired doneness.
- Let steak rest for ~10 minutes before slicing against the grain (i.e., perpendicular to the fibers). While steak rests, chop bell peppers and mushrooms into bite-sized pieces.
- Toss romaine, bell peppers, mushrooms and flank steak with chimichurri sauce. Enjoy!
