Skirt Steak with Chimichurri, French Chard

Cooked the steak on CI grate at high temp and served with a chimichurri. The French chard came from the garden and was quickly sautéed with olive oil, garlic, S&P. Turned out great!

    Swiss chard is versatile, I regularly use in a mixed greens salad, but it is slightly sharp/bitter, a light sauté does wonders if you prefer to eat t cooked. Somewhat similar to a spinach or collard maybe.

    no but I think I'm going to do this same cook tonight. I trimmed up and broke down all those skirts I got into 12-16oz steaks since it's pretty much just me and TFJ (outside of the occasional hungry straggler). They were as nice as any skirt I have ever seen. Can't wait to try them.

    BTW- it took 2 hours straight to trim them up, cut them down and bag them. I'm good on skirt for a while lol. I think it was 20+ lbs (10 whole skirts) when it was all over with. I have like 30 skirt steaks big enough for 2 people in the freezer from it.

    I was expecting the hungry stragglers tonight so I cooked one of each just to see what’s up. They bailed at the last minute and I already had them all salted so I decided to go ahead and cook them all. Since we knew we would have leftovers we went 3 ways. Rubbed the skirt with salt, garlic, and lime juice for tacos this week, the 44 Farms ribeye and Wagyu Strip were salt only- all 3 seared over ripping hot egg, dome open. We decided the ribeye would be tonight’s dinner with Chimi and homemade sour dough off the board. Fantastic. I snuck a bite of the skirt too- even better. So beefy and salty/limey. The strip was 122 when I pulled it. We are going to reheat souls vide tomorrow night for Thai steak salad. Thanks for putting the score together. Every bite was fantastic and I can’t wait to try the strip tomorrow. 

    Btw- chimi dipped homemade sourdough is pretty epic.
