Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 lbs flank steak
- 1 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 0.5 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
- 0.5 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 0.25 cup red wine vinegar
- Salt, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the chimichurri sauce by combining parsley, cilantro, garlic, red pepper flakes, olive oil, red wine vinegar, and salt in a bowl. Let sit for 30 minutes.
- Marinate the flank steak by pouring half of the chimichurri sauce over it in a dish or resealable bag. Reserve the other half for serving. Marinate for at least 1 hour or overnight.
- Preheat the grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Grill the steak for 5-7 minutes per side until desired doneness is achieved.
- Let the cooked steak rest for 10 minutes to redistribute juices, then slice against the grain.
- Drizzle with reserved chimichurri sauce and serve with your favorite sides.
Notes
Marinate the steak longer for enhanced tenderness and flavor. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the steak is cooked to your liking.
