Servings: 4
Ingredients
- Flat iron steak (1 (1.5 to 2 pound))
- Olive oil (2 tablespoons)
- Salt (1 teaspoon)
- Black pepper (1/2 teaspoon)
- Garlic (2 cloves, minced)
- Fresh parsley (1/2 cup, finely chopped)
- Fresh cilantro (1/2 cup, finely chopped)
- Fresh oregano (2 tablespoons, finely chopped)
- Red wine vinegar (1/4 cup)
- Lemon juice (2 tablespoons)
- Red pepper flakes (1/2 teaspoon)
Instructions
- Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
- To make the chimichurri sauce, combine the minced garlic, chopped parsley, chopped cilantro, chopped oregano, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, and red pepper flakes in a bowl. Mix well and set aside to allow the flavors to meld together.
- Rub the flat iron steak with olive oil, then season it evenly with salt and black pepper.
- Place the steak on the preheated grill. Cook for approximately 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare doneness, adjusting the cooking time based on your preference.
- Remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for about 5 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful steak.
- Slice the steak against the grain into thin strips for serving. This will make it easier to chew and enhance its flavor.
- Serve the sliced steak with a generous helping of the chimichurri sauce. Enjoy your meal!
