Hello my lovelies! I have an unbelievably tasty one today! Seriously… the steak is amazing but this chimichurri sauce…. WOW. I’ve been eating this chimichurri on everything! Everything. This steak. On Corn. On BRATS. Oooooh baby!
Okay, okay enough teasing here it is:
Ingredients
Chimichurri
1 Cup parsley, loosely packed
3 each garlic cloves
3/4 Cup extra virgin olive oil
3 Tbls red wine vinegar
salt and pepper to taste
Cilantro-Lime Marinated Flank Steak
Flank Steak around 2 pounds
1 1/2 Cup cilantro, loosely packed
2 Tbls red wine vinegar
2 each garlic cloves
1/2 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp onion powder
1 each lime, juiced
1 Tbls brown sugar
1/4 Cup extra virgin olive oil
1/4 Cup parsley, loosely packed
Directions
Chimichurri
Place all of the ingredients except the garlic and olive oil into a food processor or powerful blender. Rough chop the garlic and toss that in. Start pulsing the mixture and drizzle in the olive oil until it is a thick paste. You can also chop all this together, except for the olive oil, mixing that in at the last step.
Let this sit in the fridge at least 24 hours before using.
Cilantro-Lime Marinated Flank Steak
Place all of the ingredients except the steak, garlic and olive oil into a food processor or powerful blender. Rough chop the garlic and toss that in. Start pulsing the mixture and drizzle in the olive oil until it is pureed. Pour this over the steak, cover with plastic wrap and let site in the fridge over night.
Turn it about half way through the marinating process. Now, grill it to the temperature you like.
I cooked this until it was medium. Let it sit for about 10 minutes covered with foil. Then, cutting against the grain and at an angle, cut thin slices. Serve with the chimichurri and the sides you like and you’ll be back thanking me real soon!

Pinning. You know, it seems like every time I click a recipe I like the look of (from a blog party or pinterest), it seems like it’s one of yours! We must have similar taste in food! 🙂 Advice needed though – I can not cook flank steak! It is always tough, even with marinade, slow cooking… etc. I want it to be good sooooo badly, but then it’s tough! HELP! Julia

The best way to have tender flank is quick cooking! I grilled this to medium-rare to medium. Cut across the grain in thin slices and on an angle. It is SUPER tender!! OR slow cooking is another way. Cooking it in the oven like a roast on only around 250 degrees until a thermometer reads its around 200 degrees in the center, slice it again thinly, at an angle across the grain, although it will probably fall apart while cutting from being so tender!

Wow Dana, this looks so delicious. I love cilantro lime anything I have to try this. I saw an episode of Good Eats once that said if you really want lime flavor in your marinade to use the lime zest. (I found you on Great Ideas Thursday)
