🥗Healthier: flank steak

💰Cheaper: sirloin steak

Flank steak is leaner, while sirloin is often more affordable.

Trim the skirt steak of excess fat and cut the silver skin.

Divide the skirt steak into 4-ounce portions.

Prepare the marinade using an immersion blender or food processor: place 2 tablespoons of minced garlic, 1/4 cup of onions, 3 tablespoons of chopped cilantro, 3/4 cup of olive oil, 1/2 cup of red wine vinegar, and 2 tablespoons of peppered horns in the blender and blend until well combined.

Place the steaks in a shallow bowl or roasting pan and cover with the marinade, using a gloved hand to mix until each piece is completely covered.

Let the steaks marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes and no more than 24 hours.

Preheat the grill to about 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

Remove the steaks from the refrigerator and let them warm up a little for better results.

Once the grill is hot, place the steaks on the grill at an angle without crowding them and season with salt.

Rotate the steaks to change the angle after one minute and let them sear on each side for about 2 minutes.

Remove the steaks from the grill and let them rest for about 2 minutes before slicing and serving with cilantro chimichurri.
