Churrasco Pizza with Chimichurri Sauce ~ Juicy tender churrasco laying on a bed of arugula over Flatout Artisan Thin Pizza Crust, topped with fresh chimichurri sauce and sprinkled with Parmesan cheese.

I really, really, really love fun tasty meals that I can prepare quickly and easily. Specially meals that I can share with my family and friends that end up becoming a favorite dish by everyone. That was the absolute case of this amazing churrasco pizza with chimichurri sauce.

There is a special place in my heart for churrasco and chimichurri sauce. It is just one of those things that when available I just can't get enough of. I recently went to my local grocery store and bought a piece of beautifully cut skirt steak (churrasco) along with a package of Flatout pizza crust and thought it would be a great idea to make a churrasco pizza. I invited my best friend over to tried it out with me. (She loves churrasco, too.) And together we created what I can only refer to as a masterpiece. 

This pizza is the perfect dish to make during your Labor Day weekend cookout. So, fire up that grill and get the steak cooking. You can make the chimichurri sauce one to two days ahead and reserve in a sealed container in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

For this recipe, I used Flatout Flatbread pizza crust. I love it because every Flatout is a blank canvas; it’s a perfect partner to help people of all ages make healthier choices. With Flatout less is more...less calories, carbs, time with more flavor and options! Who wouldn't want that?

By the way, if you'd like to sprinkle the flatbread with some Parmesan cheese, crisp it up in the oven and then dip it in the chimichurri sauce, it is fine. I did that too! Enjoy. 😉
