Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Flank steak
- 1 cup Olive oil
- 6 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 0.25 cup Fresh lime juice
- 0.25 cup White vinegar
- 0.25 cup Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Sugar
- 2 teaspoons Dried oregano
- 2 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 2 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes
- 0.5 cup Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
In a large resealable plastic bag or bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, lime juice, white vinegar, soy sauce, sugar, dried oregano, ground black pepper, salt, and crushed red pepper flakes. Mix well to create the marinade.
Add the flank steak to the marinade, ensuring it is fully coated. Seal the bag or cover the bowl with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for the best results.
Preheat a grill to high heat.
Remove the flank steak from the marinade and pat it dry with paper towels to remove excess liquid.
Place the steak on the grill and cook for about 6-8 minutes on each side, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness.
Remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.
Slice the rested steak thinly against the grain to ensure tenderness.
Sprinkle the sliced churrasco with fresh parsley before serving to add a fresh, aromatic touch.
Serve with traditional accompaniments such as chimichurri sauce and enjoy your authentic churrasco.
