This is the perfect dish for a dinner party. Feel free to double the recipe if needed if serving more than 4 people, because, believe me, they will go back for seconds, this dish is so delicious. I served mine with roasted herb potatoes and an heirloom tomato salad.

How To Make flank steak with chimichurri sauce

  • 1
    Marinade (the night before): I recommend blending the marinade in a blender or food processor to combine well.
  • 2
    Add steak to large ziploc bag, and pour marinade into bag as well. Place in refrigerator, and let marinate overnight.
  • 3
    When ready, grill over medium-low heat, searing/charring each side for approximately 2-4 minutes per side, until a nice medium-rare cook.
  • 4
    Remove from grill, transfer to cutting board, let it rest for about 5 minutes, then slice. Serve with chimichurri sauce (recipe below).
  • 5
    Chimichurri (the night before): Combine all ingredients in a blender or food processor and blend until desired consistency. I prefer mine quite blended. Scrape sides and add more olive oil if needed.
  • 6
    Transfer to a container that seals, and refrigerate overnight as well. Before serving, bring sauce to room temperature, and shake well.
