Chimichurri Flank Steak
Chimichurri is a green sauce that is an Argentine specialty. This sauce is a mixture of garlic, oregano, parsley, oil and vinegar that is served on top of grilled meats and is absolutely DELICIOUS. To me, chimichurri the combination of fresh herb flavor and tangy vinegar brings out the richness in beef in a way few other sauces can match. Flank steaks are a great steak to serve with chimichurri sauce. They’re easy to season with the sauce and have deep flavor that is perfectly complemented by the chimichurri.
