Ingredients

1 ½ pounds beef flank steak
2 tablespoons olive oil
salt and freshly ground pepper
Chimichurri Sauce:
1 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 cup minced fresh parsley
1/2 cup minced fresh cilantro
3 cloves garlic, minced
3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper
salt and freshly ground pepper

Directions

Rub 2 tablespoons olive oil onto flank steak to coat; season with salt and pepper.
Mix 1 cup olive oil, parsley, cilantro, garlic, lime juice, red wine vinegar, and crushed red pepper together in a bowl; season with salt and pepper.
Preheat outdoor grill to medium-high.
Grill flank steak until no longer pink in the center, 6 to 8 minutes per side.
Rest the steak for 10 minutes before slicing; serve with chimichurri sauce.

Mealthy tip:

Not grilling weather? Sear the steak in a stove-top grill pan or cast-iron skillet. Leftover chimichurri (if you have any!) can be refrigerated for up to one week. Alternatively, make a double batch and serve the leftovers with grilled chicken thighs, roast potatoes or even on scrambled eggs!

Kaylee Adams says:

Made reverse seared steak in my cast iron skillet and served with the chimichurri. Great recipe, full of flavor. Didn't even need any sides with it.

Jenny J says:

I've wanted to try this for so long! I did ribeye with the chimichurri sauce and served it with Brussels sprouts. It was fantastic.

chef chris says:

I love chimi sauce. its great on top of rice steak. this was really yummy.

George Delamea says:

This chimichurri brings so much bright flavor to the juicy hot steak. I used a pinch of ground chipotle pepper when seasoning the flank. Worked well with the sauce. Great summer meal.

Jen the Mighty says:

With a flank steak you want to make sure you cut it against the grain and thinly so that you don't get tough pieces. Top with chimichurri sauce and you have a winner.
