Directions
Prepare the Chimichurri Sauce as follows:
Puree all ingredients for Chimichurri Sauce in a food processor.
Cover and let stand at room temperature. This can be made 2 hours ahead.
For the Flank Steak:
Prepare the rub by mixing all rub ingredients in a bowl. I used about half for my flank steak.
Rub into both sides of meat.
Rub in the olive oil on both sides, topping each off with 2 or 3 splashes of the vinegar.
Allow the steak to sit for at least a half hour.
Grill on a hot BBQ, covered, for 6 minutes on each side, or as your prefer.
Let the steak stand for about 5 minutes before slicing.
Spoon Chimichurri Sauce over flank steak prior to serving.
This sauce is great over fish and grilled chicken, too!
Serve with vegetables and a salad.
