Ingredients

Steak

  • 1 pound skirt steak or flank steak, any large parts of fat trimmed (I get my steak from ButcherBox, which I highly recommend)
  • salt and pepper

Chimichurri Sauce

  • ½ cup parsley leaves torn from 1 bunch, some stems ok
  • ½ cup cilantro leaves torn from 1 bunch, some stems ok
  • ¾ cup olive oil
  • ¼ cup red wine vinegar
  • 3 cloves of garlic
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon pepper

Instructions

Chimichurri Sauce

  • Combine all the ingredients in a food processor. Pulse for about 10-15 seconds until just combined. you do not want to over pulse and turn this into a smooth sauce. Transfer to a container and set aside.

Steak

  • Preheat your grill (or indoor grill pan) over high heat, and brush with olive oil. Season the salt generously with salt and pepper. Grill on each side about 5-6 minutes, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 135 degrees for medium rare. Transfer to a cutting board and allow to rest for 5 minutes. After the steak has rested, slice it against the grain into 1/2" thick slices. Serve topped with chimichurri sauce.
