Grilled Flank Steak with Chimichurri
- Stir the parsley, oregano, garlic, olive oil, vinegar, pepper flakes and 1/2 tsp salt together in a bowl. Let it sit so the flavors blend.
- Pat the steak dry. Rub it with the vegetable oil and season both sides with 1 1/2 tsp salt, the pepper and garlic powder.
- Heat the grill to high, about 450°F to 500°F. Scrub the grates clean and oil them lightly.
- Grill the steak with the lid closed, without moving it, until well marked on the first side.
- Flip and grill until the thickest part reads 145°F (63°C).
- Move the steak to a cutting board and rest it.
- Find the lines running along the meat (the grain). Slice thinly across those lines at a slight angle.
- Arrange the slices on a platter and spoon the chimichurri over the top. Serve the rest on the side.
- Cook to 145°F inside (check with a thermometer).
