Grilled Skirt Steak With Green And Smokey Red Chimichurri - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    Green Chimichurri
    1 cup fresh flat leaf parsley
    1/2 cup fresh mint leaves
    1/2 cup fresh oregano leaves
    1/2 cup canola oil
    1/4 cup red wine vinegar
    1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
    8 garlic cloves
    1 1/2 lbs skirt steaks, cut crosswise into 3 pieces
    Smokey Red Chimichurri
    1 cup finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
    1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
    1/4 cup red wine vinegar
    2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh oregano
    1 tablespoon pureed chipotle chile in adobo
    1 tablespoon smoked paprika
    1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
    3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
    kosher salt & freshly ground black pepper
    flat leaf parsley, for garnish
Preparation
    For the green chimichurri: Combine the parsley, mint, oregano, canola oil, vinegar, red pepper flakes and garlic in a food processor and process until smooth.
    Put the steak in a large baking dish, add the green chimichurri and turn to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours and up to 24 hours. Remove the steak from the marinade and place on a plate 30 minutes before grilling.
    For the red chimichurri: Using a mortar and pestle, combine the parsley, olive oil, vinegar, oregano, chipotle, paprika, red pepper flakes, garlic and some salt and pepper.
    Preheat a charcoal or gas grill to high heat.
    Sprinkle the steaks with salt and pepper on both sides. Grill until charred on both sides and cooked to medium-rare doneness, about 5 minutes per side. Remove from the grill and let rest on a cutting board for 5 minutes. Cut the meat across the grain into thin slices, top with the red chimmichurri and garnish with parsley leaves.
