Grilled Flank Steak with Chimichurri Sauce

Serves: 4 | Prep Time: 15 mins | Cook Time: 10 mins | Rest Time: 5 mins

Flank steak is a lean, flavorful cut of beef that cooks quickly, making it perfect for weeknight dinners or weekend BBQs. In this recipe, we pair it with a fresh, herby chimichurri sauce that takes the flavor to the next level.

Ingredients

For the Steak:

• 1½ lbs flank steak

• 3 tbsp olive oil

• 2 cloves garlic, minced

• 1 tsp smoked paprika

• 1 tsp salt

• ½ tsp black pepper

For the Chimichurri:

• 1 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped

• 3 cloves garlic, minced

• 2 tbsp fresh oregano, finely chopped (or 1 tsp dried)

• ½ cup olive oil

• 2 tbsp red wine vinegar

• ½ tsp red pepper flakes

• Salt & pepper, to taste

Instructions

1. Marinate the Steak – In a small bowl, mix olive oil, garlic, paprika, salt, and pepper. Rub evenly over the flank steak. Cover and let marinate for at least 30 minutes (up to 4 hours) in the fridge.

2. Make the Chimichurri – In a medium bowl, combine parsley, garlic, oregano, olive oil, vinegar, and red pepper flakes. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.

3. Grill the Steak – Preheat your grill (or grill pan) to high heat. Grill flank steak for about 4–5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer if desired.

4. Rest & Slice – Let the steak rest for 5 minutes to retain juices. Slice thinly against the grain.

5. Serve – Drizzle with chimichurri and serve with roasted vegetables, salad, or crusty bread.

Pro Tip:
Always cut flank steak against the grain for the most tender bite.
