Skirt Steak with Roasted Tomato Chimichurri and Potatoes

Pump up a classic chimichurri by adding sweet roasted tomatoes. The condiment is great with steak, as well as grilled fish or poultry.

Chimichurri

  • 4 medium tomatoes (1 1/2 pounds), quartered ne
  • 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • Kosher salt
  • 1 cup lightly packed parsley leaves
  • 11/2 tbsp unseasoned rice vinegar
  • 3/4 tsp crushed red pepper
  1. Preheat the oven to 400°. On a large rimmed baking sheet, toss the tomatoes with 1/4 cup of the olive oil and season with salt. Roast for about 20 minutes, until softened and browned in spots; let cool slightly. Transfer the tomatoes to a food processor. Add the parsley, vinegar, crushed pepper and the remaining 1/4 cup of oil. Pulse until almost smooth. Season with salt and transfer to a bowl.

    Potatoes and Steak

    • 1 lb fingerling potatoes
    • Kosher salt
    • 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
    • 1 onion, very thinly sliced
    • 1 tbsp unsalted butter
    • 1/4 cup finely chopped parsley
    • 2 lb skirt steak, cut into 5-inch-long pieces
    • Pepper
    1. In a saucepan, cover the potatoes with water and bring to a boil. Add a generous pinch of salt and simmer over moderate heat until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain the potatoes and let cool, then halve lengthwise.
    2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil until shimmering. Add the onion and cook over moderately high heat, stirring, until just softened, about 3 minutes. Add the potatoes cut side down and cook until browned on the bottom, about 5 minutes. Flip the potatoes and onion and cook, stirring, until well browned, about 4 minutes. Stir in the butter and parsley and season with salt. Transfer to a platter and keep warm.
    3. Light a grill or preheat a grill pan. Season the steaks with salt and black pepper. Grill over high heat, turning once, until medium-rare, about 7 minutes total. Transfer to a carving board and let rest for 10 minutes. Thinly slice the steak across the grain and transfer to the platter with the potatoes. Serve with the tomato chimichurri.

    Notes: The chimichurri can be refrigerated for up to 3 days.
