Method

  1. If the skirt steak is not already cut, cut it into pieces about 5 long.

  2. Use paper towels to pat the steak dry and place it on a plate.

  3. Generously season the steak with kosher salt and freshly ground pepper all over. Let it rest at room temperature while preparing the salsa verde.

  4. Take 1 small bunch of parsley and pick the leaves and tender stems. Finely chop them to make ¾ cup and transfer to a medium bowl.

  5. You can use other leafy greens like cilantro, dill, watercress, or arugula to make the salsa verde more flavorful if desired.

  6. Finely grate 1 garlic clove and 1 tsp. lemon zest into the bowl with parsley using a Microplane.

  7. Squeeze the juice of 1 lemon half (about 4 tsp.) into the bowl, making sure no seeds get in.

  8. Coarsely chop 1 Tbsp. capers and add them to the bowl. Mix in ½ tsp. red pepper flakes, ½ tsp. sugar, and ½ cup extra-virgin olive oil. Season with salt. Set the salsa verde aside until ready to serve. Add more oil if you prefer a looser sauce.

  9. Heat a large cast-iron skillet over high heat.

  10. Pat the steaks dry again with paper towels. Lightly coat them with a bit of extra-virgin olive oil
