Skirt Steak with Chimichurri Sauce

We have been fortunate enough to have some amazingly warm and sunny days this month.  Spring has hit and our outdoor grill is being used in full force.  Tonight we cooked up a skirt steak topped with chimichurri sauce.  For those of you who have not tried chimichurri; it is an amazingly versatile sauce made with combinations of parsley, oregano and/or cilantro and is served with steak, fish or chicken.  Sarah shared with you her delicious version here and today I’m taking the more traditional Argentinean route; I hope you enjoy!
