  • 3 tbsp Lime juice
  • 2 cloves garlic chopped

Chimichurri Sauce

  • ½ cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • cup Red wine vinegar
  • 1 cup Flat leaf Parsley
  • cup Fresh cilantro
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • ¾ tsp Red pepper flakes
  • 3 tbsp Lemon juice
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • salt and pepper to taste

Flank Steak

  • lbs flank steak

Instructions
 

Chimichurri Sauce

  • Combine all ingredients in Chimichurri sauce into food processor. Blend until smooth.
  • Store in an air tight container until after steak is cooked.

Flank Steak Marinade

  • In a small glass bowl, combine all ingredients for marinade until well blended.
  • Place steak and marinade in an air tight container. Allow steak to marinade for 1 hour and up to overnight.

Cooking Flank Steak

  • Start with a very hot skillet, medium high heat. Preferably a cast iron skillet or one of the many types cast iron pans. I use this indoor grill iron skillet that I place on the stove top.
  • After it heats up, lightly coat the indoor grill with olive oil or a nonstick spray. Immediately place the marinated steak on the grill. It should be hot enough that it immediately begins to sizzle. You'll need that to have a seared flank steak.
  • Cook flank steak for 3-4 minutes before turning it. Look for the dark brown almost black charred look before turning.
  • Continue to cook for additional 3-4, depending the thickness your cut of meat.
  • Remove from the grill and place on a cutting board. Let the meat rest for 10 minutes before slicing to allow the juices to distribute.
