Instructions
Remove the flank steak from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes.
Preheat a grill to medium-high heat.
Brush the steak with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and season with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Place the steak on the grill and cook for about 5-7 minutes per side for medium-rare, or adjust the time to your preferred doneness.

For the sauce, finely chop the parsley and garlic and place in a small mixing bowl.

Juice the lemon and add it to the bowl along with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and white wine vinegar.
Mix the sauce ingredients until well combined and set aside.
Place arugula in a large bowl and drizzle with the juice of half a lemon and a pinch of salt.
Once the steak is done, remove it from the grill and let it rest for 5-10 minutes.
Slice the steak thinly against the grain.
To serve, place arugula on a serving platter, top with sliced steak, and drizzle with the citrus parsley chili churro sauce.
Optionally, garnish with extra parsley or thin lemon slices.
