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. Or make a double batch of chimichurri and serve the leftovers with grilled chicken thighs, roast potatoes, or even on scrambled eggs! It also makes a nice dip for crusty bread or a spread on a roasted veggie sandwich.

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.

chef chris says:

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

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.

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.

Bobbie Loader says:

Was ok- not a hit- but I liked it enough to try again-will use a quarter of the oil next time since it over powered the herbs big time - I used a food processor to save time chopping and that helped a lot- the herbs need a min to really envelop their full flavor- would make ahead at least a half hour
