Flank Steak with Chimichurri

Best thing about this recipe? It sounds super fancy but its super simple to make, not to mention a serving packs 440 Calories!! Chimichurri comes from Argentina, its actually what they use as steak sauce. If this were to be considered a steak sauce like we think of steak sauces then it would be the healthiest steak sauce around, not to mention delicious! It could also be considered a fajita sauce.  

Ingredients

1/4c Red Wine Vinegar

3 tbsp Water

4 Cloves Garlic, Minced

1tsp red pepper flakes

1/4c Olive Oil

1c Finely chopped Parsley, note in most cases you can substitute dried parsley, this is not one of those times

1 1/2 lb Flank, Sirloin or Skirt Steak

2 Bunches Scallions 

Directions

For the Chimichurri sauce mix the vinegar, water, garlic, 1 tsp salt, 1 tsp pepper, and the pepper flakes. Whisk in the oil, after everything is fully blended then whisk in the parsley. 

Heat the grill or stove top until hot. Season the steaks with salt and pepper. For medium to rare cook 3-4 minutes on each side, for medium to done cook 5-7 minutes each side (although for this recipe I would recommend cooking it medium to rare). If you're cooking the steaks on the stove top add in in the scallions (chopped) after the first time you flip them. If you're cooking on the grill add the scallions as they are (stems and all) for the last 2-3 minutes. 

Before the steaks are served make sure they sit a good 5-6 minutes. To serve the steak cut them in to very fine strips then drip the Chimichurri sauce over the strips. This makes a very nice presentation and its so easy to make, this would be great if your entertaining for a large group of people!!
