Skirt Steak Salad with Watercress and ..

Cooking Instructions

Combine garlic, thyme leaves and oil in large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish large enough to accommodate the steak. Marinate the steak, covered, for up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.

Preheat the grill. Remove the steak from the marinade. Pat dry and season with salt and pepper. Grill the steak to medium rare, about 4 minutes per side, and set aside in a warm place to rest.

Make the chimichurri vinaigrette: Whisk together the sherry vinegar, olive oil, parsley, cilantro, red onion, garlic, and red pepper flakes in a medium mixing bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Combine watercress and red peppers in a large mixing bowl. Dress with some of the vinaigrette--you may not need it all. Spread the salad on a large platter. Slice the steak against the grain and arrange on top of the salad. Sprinkle with blue cheese and serve with additional chimichurri dressing.
