Description

Flavorful flank steak topped with an awesome chimichurri sauce. (Prep time includes fridge time.)

Ingredients

  • 3 pounds Flank Steak
  • 4 cloves Garlic
  • ⅓ cups Fresh Lime Juice
  • 2 teaspoons Sea Salt
  • 3 Tablespoons Dark Soy Sauce
  • 1 Tablespoon Dark Brown Sugar
  • ¼ cups Canola Or Vegetable Oil
  • _____
  • FOR THE CHIMICHURRI:
  • 3 bunches Italian Flat-leaf Parsley
  • ½ cups Onion
  • 6 cloves Garlic
  • ¼ cups Fresh Lemon Juice
  • ¼ cups Fresh Lime Juice
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • ¾ cups Grapeseed Oil
  • 1 teaspoon Cider Vinegar
  • ½ teaspoons Sugar

Preparation

For the Steak:
Blend all the ingredients well and place in a shallow bowl big enough to hold the steak overnight or at least for 4 hours in the fridge.

Turn on your grill to the highest setting- you want it SUPER hot before you place the meat down. Make sure to shake off the excess marinade and put the meat down on the grill on an angle so you get the nice grill marks.

Let it cook for about 4 minutes and without flipping it over yet, slightly rotate the beef to get crisscross marks (thank you PW for this trick). Cook for another 4 minutes on this side. Flip over and do the same.

Flank steak tends to be somewhat thick, but if your piece looks thin to you, you might want to cook it for less time to avoid overcooking. Overcooked flank steak is not pretty, friends. In fact, it’s pretty awful because it gets extremely tough.

After the meat is cooked, remove it from the grill – WITH TONGS! You don’t want to pierce it with a fork because this will make all the juices run out, rendering the meat dry.

You have to let the meat rest for a few minutes before you slice it thinly against the grain.

For the chimichurri:

Thoroughly wash the parsley. In a food processor, grind the parsley well and set aside in a large bowl or Tupperware.

Next add the onions and garlic to the food processor. Combine until it becomes a fine paste. Strain this over a tight mesh sieve to remove the excess water from the onion and add to the bowl with the parsley.

Next, add the juice of the lemon and limes, the salt, oil, vinegar and sugar and combine well.

Allow to set overnight or at least four hours. Serve over juicy steak.

I really loved this recipe, but I was a bit confused on the ingredients. I put 2 T. of sea salt in the marinade and it was pretty salty with the soy sauce, was that intentional? Still delicious, just a bit on the salty side. I noticed that in the directions for the chimichurri, it says to add in the salt, but there is no salt in the chimichurri ingrendients, is this just to taste? I just wanted to get a bit of clarification because it was amazing as is, but just wanted to make sure I did it right!

This whole recipe was fantastic! I didn’t have time to let everything meld and marinate as long as recommended, but everything was still so delicious. The chimichurri pairs very nicely with the steak. The steak is really great and lends itself to any genre of cuisine. This is definitely going in my go-to arsenal and we will be eating it again soon!
