This classic South American fresh herb-and-garlic sauce creates the perfect marinade, and after-grill drizzle, for steak. We recommend having the ingredients on hand so you can make some whenever the mood strikes. All you have to do is use a blender or mini food processor and purée some parsley, garlic, red-wine vinegar, water, oregano, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes for a touch of heat. After rubbing it on the steak and letting it marinate for at least 8 hours or up to 1 day, simply grill until desired your degree of doneness. Feel free to serve the steak with grilled potatoes and salad, or tuck inside of tacos for a tasty weeknight supper.
Ingredients
  • 2 oz, fresh parsley (1 small bunch), stems removed
  • 4 medium garlic cloves
  • 2 tbsp red-wine vinegar
  • 1 tbsp water
  • 1 tbsp fresh oregano
  • 1½ tsp kosher salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • ¼ tsp crushed red pepper flakes
  • 4 tsp olive oil, divided
  • 1 pound uncooked lean and trimmed beef flank steak
  • Cooking spray
  • 2 sprays cooking spray
  • 1 pinch kosher salt, or to taste
  • 1 pinch black pepper, or to taste

Instructions
  1. In a blender or mini chopper, puree parsley, garlic, vinegar, water, oregano, 1 ½ tsp salt, ¼ tsp pepper and pepper flakes until relatively smooth. Remove 3 tbsp chimichurri to a small bowl; stir in 1 tsp oil. Rub the mixture in bowl all over steak; cover and marinate for 8 hours and up to 24 hours.
  2. Add remaining 1 Tbsp oil to remaining chimichurri; reserve in refrigerator.
  3. Off heat, coat a grill or grill pan with cooking spray. Preheat grill to high heat.
  4. Wipe marinade off steak and pat steak dry with a paper towel or clean kitchen towel; season steak with additional salt and pepper, if desired. Grill steak until medium rare, flipping once, about 5-7 minutes per side (or longer until desired degree of doneness). Remove steak from grill; let rest a few minutes before slicing against grain. Serve steak drizzled with reserved chimichurri.
  5. Serving size: 3 oz steak and 1 tbsp sauce!
