Grilled Marinated Flank Steak (with Chimichurri Sauce)

If the chimichurri sauce was good by itself, it was amazing with a deliciously marinated, perfectly grilled flank steak!

The steak we cooked was a little over a pound (the recipe called for a two-pound steak), but I forgot to halve the marinade. I actually think it worked out well, though - since it marinated for two days, the extra sauce made for an incredibly tender piece of meat.

I would absolutely make this again - maybe next week! ;-)



Ingredients:
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 C red wine vinegar
  • 3/4 C extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tsp. hot sauce
  • 1 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 Tbsp. lower sodium soy sauce
  • 2 Tbsp. honey
  • 1 Tbsp. steak seasoning
  • 1 tsp. ground cumin
  • 1.25 lb. beef flank steak
Method:
  1. In a gallon sized Ziploc bag, combine all marinade ingredients: garlic through cumin. Mix well.
  2. Add steak to the bag and marinate in the fridge for 2 hours or overnight. (Or for 2 days if it suites you.)
  3. When ready to cook, spray grill grate with cooking oil and preheat to medium.
  4. Grill steak for 8 to 10 minutes on each side or until desired doneness.
  5. Transfer steak to a cutting board and let rest for 10 minutes.
  6. Cut meat across the grain into thin, slanting slices.
  7. Serve with chimichurri sauce.

  1. We made this again at the beach this weekend, and I am happy to say that it was equally delicious, even when only marinated for about 10 hours (as opposed to two days) - just as tender and flavorful. Definitely a keeper!
