Ingredients:
For the Steak:
- 2 pounds flank steak
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
For the Chimichurri Sauce:
- 1 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, finely chopped (optional)
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
Instructions:
- In a medium bowl, combine the parsley, cilantro (if using), garlic, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, red pepper flakes, olive oil, salt, and pepper.
- Stir well to combine. Adjust seasoning as needed. Let the sauce sit for 10–15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Pat the flank steak dry with paper towels.
- Drizzle olive oil over both sides and season generously with salt and black pepper.
- For Grilling: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (around 450°F). Grill the flank steak for 4–5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer if desired.
- For Stovetop: Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the steak for 4–5 minutes per side until browned and cooked to your preferred doneness.
- Transfer the cooked steak to a cutting board, cover loosely with foil, and let it rest for 10 minutes to retain juices.
- Slice the steak against the grain into thin strips.
- Spoon the chimichurri sauce generously over the top. Serve extra sauce on the side for dipping.
