This grilled flank steak is always a hit and so easy to prepare.  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. Flank steak is usually at the top of the list.  Five of our six children were home for our recent Barn W,edding so I had the opportunity to cook for my kids. The week before we had had dinner at a neighbor’s house and she had fixed an amazing flank steak.  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. Â I was first introduced to Chimichurri Sauce when we visited Argentina several years ago where our son served as a missionary for our church. Â I was excited to try it at home.
Let’s just say it sure beats ketchup! Â Any leftovers would be delicious served on a salad.

The flank steak looks YUMMY! I will definitely be trying that one!
My mother taught me FORGIVENESS. No, it isn’t always easy, but she has been put to the ultimate test, with her own mother being senselessly murdered when she was in her 20’s. She, by all reasonable thought processes, could’ve chosen bitterness, but didn’t. Instead, she chose to forgive. It has made all of the difference in the world in our family’s legacy.

The flank steak is printed off and in the “to try” find (which is getting bigger and bigger. I think the Father’s Day present will definitely be a new grill. THANKS!

I’m fairly certain that I emailed you yesterday, but one never knows…
That flank steak looks YUMMY!! My boys would all love that.
As for my mother, she taught me to trust in my feelings, and to follow my own instincts. I’ve learned that even when I can’t explain why, it’s generally just best to go with what I know inside. I love her!
