1) Combine all the steak ingredients, and let the steak marinate, refrigerated, for 1 to 3 hours.
2) Mix all the chimichurri ingredients lightly in a food processor until a coarse sauce is formed. Set aside for 2 hours.
3) Heat a griddle or pan to a high heat and cook the skirt steak to medium-rare, or required doneness. Allow to sit for 5 to 10 minutes, then cut on bias in 0.5cm pieces, and top with the chimichuri sauce.
