Easy Grilled Chimichurri Steak Recipe

This recipe involves marinating the steak in chimichurri sauce before grilling, resulting in a flavorful and aromatic dish. It takes about 30 minutes to prepare and 10 minutes to cook, serving 4 people.

Ingredients

1 1/2 pounds flank steak or sirloin steak
1 cup fresh parsley, chopped
1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup olive oil
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Prepare the Chimichurri: In a bowl, combine the parsley, cilantro, garlic, olive oil, red wine vinegar, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Mix well and set aside.
Marinate the Steak: Place the steak in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag. Pour half of the chimichurri sauce over the steak, ensuring it is well coated. Marinate for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.
Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Grill the Steak: Remove the steak from the marinade and discard the used marinade. Grill the steak for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until your desired doneness is reached.

Rest and Slice: Remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing against the grain.
Serve: Drizzle the remaining chimichurri sauce over the sliced steak and serve with your favorite sides.
