Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 pounds flank steak, trimmed of excess fat
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh oregano, chopped (or 1 tablespoon dried oregano)
  • 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil (80 ml)
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prep the chimichurri sauce: In a medium bowl, combine parsley, oregano, garlic, red wine vinegar, olive oil, lemon juice, red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and pepper. Stir well and set aside.
  2. Trim any large fat deposits from the flank steak. Pat dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
  3. Marinate the steak: Place steak in a shallow dish or zip-top bag. Pour 2 tablespoons olive oil and 1 minced garlic clove over it, rubbing to coat evenly. Marinate at least 30 minutes at room temperature or up to 12 hours in the fridge.
  4. Preheat grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F / 200°C). Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
  5. Grill the steak for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, flipping once. Use an instant-read thermometer to check for 130-135°F (54-57°C). Adjust cooking time for preferred doneness.
  6. Remove steak from grill and tent loosely with foil. Let rest for 10 minutes to lock in juices.
  7. Slice steak thinly against the grain and serve with chimichurri sauce spooned over or on the side.

Notes

Marinate steak at least 30 minutes for best flavor, but overnight is ideal. Rest steak after grilling to keep it juicy. Slice against the grain for tenderness. Hand-chop herbs for chimichurri to keep a rustic texture. Grill grates should be clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.
