Preparation
  1. Pat the skirt steak dry with paper towels, then season with kosher salt and black pepper. Allow to rest for at least 15 minutes.

  5. Assemble the bowls with cooked rice, top with sliced steak and drizzle chimichurri.
  6. Finish with optional garnishes like cilantro, flaky sea salt, pickled onions, and lime wedges.
