Instructions

1. In a large bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup of olive oil, red wine vinegar, minced garlic, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper.
2. Add the hanger steak to the marinade, ensuring it's well coated. Cover the bowl and let the steak marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or overnight for deeper flavor.
3. Preheat your grill to high heat.
4. Remove the steak from the marinade, shaking off any excess. Discard the leftover marinade.
5. Grill the steak for about 6-8 minutes per side, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness.
6. While the steak is grilling, prepare the chimichurri sauce. Combine the finely chopped parsley, cilantro, red pepper flakes, 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, and 1/4 cup of olive oil in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and stir until well mixed.
7. Once the steak is grilled to your liking, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing against the grain. Serve the steak slices with a generous helping of chimichurri sauce.
