Ingredients
Chimichurri Sauce
- ½ cup extra virgin olive oil
- ⅓ cup red wine vinegar
- 1 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley
- ⅓ cup fresh cilantro
- 2 cloves fresh garlic peeled
- ¾ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

Remaining Ingredients
- ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
- 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 2 cloves fresh garlic chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1½ pounds flank steak sliced into thin strips
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
- Combine the olive oil, vinegar, parsley, cilantro, garlic, red pepper flakes, lemon juice, and cumin in a food processor and blend until smooth.
- Season with salt and pepper, to taste, and set aside.
- In a small glass bowl, combine the olive oil, lime juice, and chopped garlic with a fork. Season with salt and pepper, if desired.
- Place the flank steak in a large, Ziploc plastic bag and add the olive oil mixture.
- Tightly seal the bag and turn a couple times to coat the steak in the marinade. Place in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to overnight.
- To prepare, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Remove the steak from the marinade and allow excess to drip off before adding to the hot skillet.
- Cook the steak for 3-4 minutes, then turn and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes for medium-rare results. Adjust cooking times to reach the desired level of doneness.
- Remove from heat and transfer steak to a cutting surface. Let rest for 5 minutes before cutting into very thin slices against the grain.
- To serve, drizzle steak with some Chimichurri sauce and pass remaining sauce for those who prefer a little more. Enjoy!
