Grilled Flank Steak with Chimichurri Sauce
Yield: 4 servings; approximately 2 cups chimichurri sauce
Ingredients
- 1 (1 1/2 to 2 pound) Certified Angus Beef ® flank steak
- 1/2 cup (1 ounce) chopped flat leaf Italian parsley
- 1/2 cup (1 ounce) chopped cilantro
- 1/2 onion (4 ounces), finely diced
- 3-4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 cup red wine vinegar
- 2 teaspoons agave nectar or honey
- 1/2 cup olive oil
Instructions
- In a food processor or blender combine parsley, cilantro, onion, garlic, oregano, red pepper and salt by pulsing to a finely chopped consistency.
- Add vinegar and agave nectar. With processor running, add oil in a slow stream until well combined. Set aside half of sauce in an air-tight container and refrigerate. Put steak in a casserole pan, coat evenly with remaining chimichurri, cover with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator at least four hours, or overnight for deeper flavor and tenderness.
- Heat grill.
- Remove steak from chimichurri marinade and wipe clean, discarding marinade. Grill steaks to desired doneness over medium high heat.
- Allow to rest 5 minutes and serve, topping with reserved chimichurri sauce.
