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!
Tips
- For best results, let the chimichurri sauce sit for a few hours or overnight to allow the flavors to fully develop. You can also add a bit of heat to the sauce with a dash of cayenne pepper, if you like.
