Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds flank steak
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1.5 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup fresh parsley
- 0.5 cup fresh cilantro
- 2 tablespoons fresh oregano
- 3 garlic cloves
- 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 0.5 cup extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
Start by preparing the chimichurri sauce. In a food processor, combine parsley, cilantro, oregano, garlic cloves, red wine vinegar, red pepper flakes, and 1/2 teaspoon of kosher salt.
Pulse until the herbs and garlic are finely chopped. With the processor running, slowly drizzle in the 1/2 cup of extra virgin olive oil until the sauce is well blended but still slightly chunky. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
Preheat your oven's broiler to high and position the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source.
Pat the flank steak dry with paper towels. Place it on a baking sheet or broiler pan lined with aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
Rub the steak with 3 tablespoons of olive oil. Season evenly on both sides with garlic powder, smoked paprika, kosher salt, and black pepper.
Place the steak under the broiler. Broil for 4-6 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until the steak reaches your desired doneness. Use a meat thermometer to check doneness (130°F for medium-rare, 140°F for medium).
Remove the steak from the oven and let it rest on a cutting board for 5-10 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Slice the steak thinly against the grain for maximum tenderness.
Serve the sliced steak topped with generous spoonfuls of the chimichurri sauce. Pair with your favorite sides and enjoy!
