This grilledĀ flank steak is always a hit and so easy to prepare. Ā Topping it with chimichurri sauce is perfection.
Whenever my kids are home for a visit and I ask them what they want me to fix for dinner.Ā Flank steak is usually at the top of the list. Ā The week before we had had dinner at a neighbor’s house and she had fixed an amazing flank steak. Ā I of course asked for the recipe.
Cooking for my kids was the perfect opportunity to make it. And I have made twice now since I had it at my neighbors just two weeks ago.
I grilled the flank steak but you can always do it in a grill pan or frying pan on the stove if you don’t have a grill.
Chimichurri Sauce
The marinated flank steak is very flavorful but, the Chimichurri Sauce is the best part. It is a combination of cilantro, olive oil and vinegar with a little lime juice thrown in! It makes a delicious condiment for the steak. I was first introduced to Chimichurri Sauce when we visited Argentina several years ago where our son served as a missionary for our church. I was excited to try it at home.
Let’s just say it sure beats ketchup! Any leftovers would be delicious served on a salad.
