Chimichurri sauce and steak are absolutely magical together, and this recipe is so easy. The steak is tender and loaded with flavor from the delicious chimichurri!

Provided by Cheryl Malik

Categories     Main Course

Time 32m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 ½ - 2 pounds flank steak
2 tablespoons fresh garlic (peeled)
½ cup fresh parsley
¼ cup fresh cilantro
1 cup olive oil (or avocado oil)
¼ cup fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 tablespoon crushed red pepper
½ tablespoon salt (plus more to taste)

Steps:

  • In a food processor, add the garlic. Pulse until minced. Add fresh parsley and cilantro and pulse until finely chopped. Add remaining chimichurri sauce ingredients and pulse until well combined. Set aside.
  • Marinate the steak: If the steak is large, about 2 pounds, or too big to fit into your skillet, cut it down the middle now. Make sure to cut against the grain (See Tips section in post content for help). Place steaks in a large baking dish or plastic food storage bag and add ⅓ cup chimichurri. Turn to coat. Marinate for at least 30 minutes, preferably 1-2 hours.
  • Sear the steaks: Heat a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat for about 3 minutes. Remove steaks from chimichurri and scrape off excess marinade. Pat dry and sprinkle with a modest amount of salt.
  • If working with two pieces of steak, pour 1 tablespoon of avocado oil into a cast-iron skillet and let heat about 30 seconds or until shimmering but not smoking. If working with steak in one piece, pour 2 tablespoons avocado oil in and heat.
  • When the oil is shimmering, use a pair of long tongs and carefully place steaks in skillet. Cook 3-4 minutes on each side, depending on the thickness of the steak. See Notes for details.
  • Remove steak from skillet and let rest on a cutting board for 5 minutes. Repeat with the second piece of steak, if steak had been cut in two. After resting, cut the steak into ½" slices against the grain. Arrange on a large serving platter and top with fresh chimichurri sauce. Serve with additional chimichurri.

FLANK STEAK WITH CHIMICHURRI SAUCE



Flank Steak with Chimichurri Sauce image

The hallmarks to perfect grilled steaks are a great charred crust with some grill marks, seasoning generously and nailing the temperature (doneness). Always consider the thickness of the steak when cooking, knowing the thicker the steak, the longer the cook time (see the Cook's Note below). Chimichurri is a great sauce to know because it belongs to a group of uncooked condiments that touch so many cultures and dishes. If you can make chimichurri, you can make salsa verde and pesto. A rule of thumb is chimichurri is herbal, salsa verde is acidic and pesto is nutty. Choose the right sauce to pair perfectly with your protein or vegetable. Flank steak is a heavily used muscle but will grill amazingly. It's pleasantly chewy with great flavor.

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 cup (60 g) packed fresh parsley
3 tablespoons (8 g) chopped cilantro
1 teaspoon dried oregano
3 cloves garlic, finely minced
1/2 cup (120 ml) olive oil
1/4 cup (60 ml) red wine vinegar
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
1 teaspoon Maldon sea salt
2 pounds (910 g) flank steak
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons (30 ml) olive oil
1 tablespoon (15 ml) soy sauce
1 large red onion, sliced into 1/2-inch-thick (1.3-cm) rings
Vegetable oil or nonstick cooking spray, for greasing

Steps:

  • Make the chimichurri sauce: Add all the sauce ingredients to a small food processor. Pulse 4 to 6 times, until the herbs are roughly chopped and chunky. Transfer to a serving bowl.
  • Cook the steak: Pat the flank steak dry with a paper towel. Season generously with salt and a pinch of ground pepper. Place in a medium bowl and drizzle with the olive oil and soy sauce. Add the onion to the bowl and give it all a massage until combined.
  • Heat a grill to high for at least 5 minutes. If using a charcoal or gas grill, wipe the grill grates with a lightly oiled paper towel right before cooking to clean off any char and debris. This will give you a great grill mark and help keep the beef from sticking. Alternatively, place a grill pan over high heat and preheat for at least 5 minutes. Rub a little oil on the pan or spray with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Grill the steak for about 3 minutes, or until well browned on one side. Turn the steak over and add the onion to the grill. Cook for another 2 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 125 degrees F (52 degrees C) for medium-rare, or to your desired doneness (see Cook's Note). You just want the onions slightly charred but still crunchy. Transfer the steak and onions to a cutting board and allow to rest, tented with foil, for 5 minutes. Slice the steak against the grain into 1-inch (2.5-cm) planks. Serve the steak over the onions and drizzle with the chimichurri sauce.

GRILLED FLANK STEAK WITH WORCESTERSHIRE BUTTER



Grilled Flank Steak With Worcestershire Butter image

Grilled steak covered in melting herb butter is a cornerstone of summer cooking. Here, both the steak and the compound butter are spiked with Worcestershire sauce, fresh thyme and garlic for an intensely brawny flavor. Then, the steak is garnished with a mix of charred tomatoes, scallions and basil, which gives everything a juicy sweetness brightened with lemon. You can use any cut of beef here; the flank steak has a deeply mineral taste and chewy texture that's at its best sliced thin. But rib-eye, skirt steak and sirloin also work; just be sure to adjust the cooking time for thinner or thicker pieces.

Provided by Melissa Clark

Categories     meat, main course

Time 45m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

1 1/2 pounds flank steak
Fine sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
6 thyme sprigs
3 garlic cloves, finely grated or mashed to a paste
1 jalapeño, minced
2 tablespoons minced chives, plus more for serving
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon coconut palm sugar or dark brown sugar
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, plus more as needed
3 ripe plum tomatoes
Extra-virgin olive oil
3 scallions, white and green parts, thinly sliced
Handful of torn fresh basil, plus more for serving
1/2 cup unsalted butter (1 stick), softened
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
1 tablespoon minced chives
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1 garlic clove, grated or mashed to a paste
Finely grated zest of 1 lemon
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt, plus more to taste
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Season steak all over with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. In a bowl or resealable bag, combine thyme, garlic, jalapeño, chives, Worcestershire sauce, sugar and lemon juice. Add meat and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours and up to overnight.
  • Prepare the Worcestershire butter: In a bowl, mash together the butter, thyme, chives, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, lemon zest, salt and pepper.
  • Spoon the butter onto a piece of parchment paper or plastic wrap, form into a log and wrap well. Chill for at least 2 hours before using.
  • Light the grill or heat the broiler, arranging the rack about 4 inches from the heat source. Grill tomatoes, or broil them on a rimmed baking pan, turning them, until charred on all sides, about 2 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a cutting board to cool.
  • Brush off any pieces of marinade clinging to the steak, pat steak dry and coat it lightly with oil. Grill or broil steak until it reaches desired doneness, 3 to 5 minutes per side for medium-rare (125 degrees).
  • Transfer steak to a cutting board. Slice butter into coins and place them on the steak to melt slightly. Let steak rest for 5 minutes while you prepare the tomatoes.
  • Roughly chop tomatoes and place in a bowl with scallions, basil, a pinch of salt and pepper, a drizzle of olive oil and a squeeze of lemon juice. Toss well, adding more salt or lemon juice, or both, to taste.
  • Slice the steak thinly, across the grain, and serve with the charred tomato mixture spooned on top. Garnish with more chives and torn basil, if you like.

CHARRED ASPARAGUS WITH GREEN GARLIC CHIMICHURRI



Charred Asparagus With Green Garlic Chimichurri image

Chimichurri is the South American green herb sauce that goes with just about everything. Easy to put together, it tastes best freshly prepared. When green garlic is in season in spring and early summer, use that; or substitute 2 or 3 regular garlic cloves at other times of the year. To keep it green and fresh tasting, add the vinegar just before serving. Char the asparagus in a hot cast-iron skillet or griddle, over hot coals, or under the broiler. Pencil-thin asparagus cooks quite quickly this way, but medium-size spears may be substituted.

Categories     dinner, easy, lunch, quick, weekday, vegetables, appetizer, side dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 tablespoons finely chopped green garlic
1/2 cup finely chopped parsley
2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh oregano or 1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
Salt and pepper
1 pound pencil-thin asparagus, tough ends snapped off
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
4 ounces crumbled feta
Handful of olives
Crushed red pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Heat a cast-iron pan or broiler, or prepare a charcoal grill. Make the chimichurri sauce: In a small bowl, stir together chopped green garlic, parsley, oregano, olive oil and 1/4 cup water. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Spread asparagus on a baking sheet, drizzle very lightly with oil and sprinkle with salt.
  • Transfer asparagus to hot cast-iron pan or to a grill grate that is placed very close to live coals; alternatively if broiling, place pan as close to broiler element as possible. Let asparagus cook for 4 to 5 minutes, until nicely charred, with a few burnt and blistered spots. Asparagus cooked this way tastes best if slightly undercooked and still bright green.
  • Put cooked asparagus on a platter. Stir vinegar into chimichurri and spoon sauce generously over spears. Top with crumbled feta and olives, then sprinkle with crushed red pepper and serve.

Tips:

  • Make the chimichurri butter: This easy-to-make sauce is the perfect complement to the grilled flank steak.
  • Serve the steak with grilled asparagus: Asparagus is a great side dish for grilled flank steak because it is quick and easy to cook and has a slightly sweet flavor that pairs well with the steak.
