Spring is in the air and grilling season is fast approaching. We wanted to make a something classic that was a little rebellious in nature. Skirt steak with Chimichurri is a fairly common dish. But as with many of our recipes, I love to put a twist on tradition. So this superman cooks concept could not have rung more true than when our friends at Rebellious asked us to create a pairing for their brand new Rebellious Red Blend. Our grilled Skirt Steak with Tomatillo Chimichurri was just the right twist.
This red wine is a beautiful blend that evokes the rebellious spirit of nature. It's unpredictable, unforgiving, and unapologetic. Its bright, vibrant flavors of blueberries and allspice pair perfectly with our bold unique skirt steak recipe. Our goal was to take a classic dish and create something that would be hearty and bold, yet simple enough to prepare in a short time. This pairing makes a perfect weeknight dinner with a Mexican Street Corn Salad or even a side of Tex-Mex Skillet Fiesta Cornbread.
Get creative with Skirt Steak with Tomatillo Chimichurri leftovers (if there are any)!
- warm them up slightly to create the delicious street taco for family taco night.

We hope you get a little rebellious like us and enjoy this bold, flavorful recipe.
