Serves 4
Prep time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 20 min
For the Steak:
- 2 lbs of flank, skirt, or flat iron steak
- 1/2 tbsp salt
- 1 tsp granulated garlic
- 1/2 tbsp black pepper
- 1 tsp cumin
- 2 tsp chile powder
- 2 tbsp olive oil (not extra virgin)
Mix all seasonings in a smal bowl. Preheat a charcoal or gas grill to approximately 400°F. Rub steak with olive oil, and then apply spice rub. Once grill is nice and hot, grill steak for 3-5 minutes on each side, until desired temperature. Tent with foil, and let rest for at least 15 minutes.
For the Chimichurri
- 1 cup fresh parsley (large handful)
- 1/3 cup fresh cilantro (medium handful)
- 2-3 stems of oregano leaves, stems removed
- 3 tbsp red wine vinegar
- 1/2 cup good extra virgin olive oil
- Juice of one lime
- 2-3 cloves of garlic
- A Pinch of Salt
- Black Pepper and Crushed Red Pepper to taste
In a food processor or blender, combine vinegar, lime juice, cilantro, parsley, oregano, garlic, salt and pepper. Pulse several times and then add the olive oil in a steady stream while the machine is running. This is even better made a couple of days ahead of time. Use it to marinate meats or as a basting or finishing sauce for chicken and fish.
