Ingredients
  

Group: Ingredients
  • 2 lb. flank steak, trimmed
  • 2 Tbsp. olive oil
  • 1 tsp. sea salt
  • 1 tsp. black pepper
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • ½ cup fresh cilantro, finely chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • ½ tsp. red pepper flakes Adjust to taste
  • ¼ cup red wine vinegar
  • ½ cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Equipment

  • Grill
  • Medium bowl
  • Knife For slicing the steak

Method
 

  1. In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, sea salt, and black pepper. Rub this mixture all over the flank steak, making sure it's evenly coated. Allow it to marinate for at least 30 minutes at room temperature, or for up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.
  2. While the steak marinates, mix up the chimichurri. In a medium bowl, combine the chopped parsley, cilantro, minced garlic, and red pepper flakes. Gradually drizzle in the red wine vinegar and olive oil while stirring until well integrated. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  3. Heat your grill to medium-high, around 400°F.
  4. Once the grill is hot, place the flank steak on it. Grill for approximately 6-7 minutes on one side, then flip and grill for another 4-5 minutes until it reaches an internal temperature of 130°F for medium-rare.
  5. After grilling, let the steak rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
  6. Slice the steak against the grain into thin strips and top with a generous drizzle of chimichurri.

Notes

For maximum flavor, marinate the steak overnight. Allowing the steak to rest after grilling is essential as it helps the juices redistribute, resulting in a tender and flavorful cut.
