  • 4 garlic cloves, minced – Classic chimichurri flavor.
  • ½ cup extra virgin olive oil – Creates a smooth sauce.
  • 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar – Adds tanginess.

  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano – Traditional seasoning.
  • ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes – Mild heat.
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

Optional Garnishes

Instructions

  1. Pat the flank steak dry and prepare the marinade.
  2. Coat the steak with the marinade and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  3. Prepare the chimichurri sauce and let it rest.
  4. Preheat the grill to high heat.
  5. Grill the steak for 4–6 minutes per side for medium-rare.
  6. Check the internal temperature using a meat thermometer.
  7. Rest the steak for 10 minutes.
  8. Slice the steak thinly against the grain.
