  • Total Time: 27 minutes
  • Yield: Serves 4

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 pounds flank steak
  • 1/2 cup red onion, minced
  • 1/3 cup parsley (flat leaf), minced (leaves only)
  • 1 tablespoon oregano (fresh, coarsely chopped) or 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 tablespoon garlic, minced
  • 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons red apple vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 1 teaspoon coarse salt
  • 1/3 teaspoon black pepper
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine all chimichurri sauce ingredients: red onion, parsley, oregano, garlic, olive oil, vinegar, crushed red pepper, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper. Mix everything well until fully combined.
  2. Let the sauce sit at room temperature for at least 15 minutes; 30 minutes is even better to allow flavors to marry.
  3. Preheat your grill to 500 degrees Fahrenheit. Once heated, reduce the temperature to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
  4. Season both sides of the flank steak generously with salt and pepper.
  5. Place the flank steak on the grill and cook for about 5–6 minutes per side for medium-rare doneness.
  6. Once cooked to your liking, remove the steak from the grill and tent it with foil. Let it rest for about 10 minutes.
  7. After resting, slice the flank steak against the grain into thin strips.
  8. Arrange slices on a serving platter and drizzle a generous amount of chimichurri sauce down the center before serving.
