Ingredients

For the Chimichurri Sauce

  • ½ cup extra virgin olive oil
  • cup red wine vinegar
  • 1 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley
  • cup fresh cilantro fresh coriander
  • 2 cloves fresh garlic peeled
  • ¾ tsp crushed red pepper flakes
  • 3 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Remaining Ingredients

  • ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 3 Tbsp fresh lime juice
  • 2 cloves fresh garlic chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • lbs 700g flank steak, sliced into thin strips
  • 1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil

Instructions

  • Make the chimichurri sauce by combining the olive oil, vinegar, parsley, cilantro, garlic, red pepper flakes, lemon juice, and cumin in a food processor and blending until smooth. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Place in an airtight container in the fridge until required.
  • In a small glass bowl, whisk the olive oil, lime juice, and chopped garlic with a fork. Season with salt and pepper, if desired.
  • Place the flank steak in a large, sealable plastic bag and add the olive oil mixture. Tightly seal the bag and turn a couple times to coat the steak in the marinade. Place in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to overnight.
  • To prepare, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the steak from the marinade and allow excess to drip off before adding to the hot skillet. Cook the steak for 3-4 minutes, then turn and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes for medium-rare results. Adjust cooking times to reach the desired level of doneness.
  • Remove from heat and transfer steak to a cutting surface. Let rest for 5 minutes before cutting into very thin slices against the grain.
  • To serve, drizzle steak with some Chimichurri sauce and pass remaining sauce for those who prefer a little more. Enjoy!
