One 1 1/2-pound flank steak
3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
Freshly ground black pepper
Coarse salt
2 cups chopped fresh cilantro
1 cup chopped fresh parsley
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
Juice of 1/2 lemon
Rice vinegar
Kosher salt
Vegetable oil, for frying
2 yucca roots, peeled, cut into 2-inch pieces and parboiled
1 tablespoon fine salt
1/2 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon chili powder

Steps:

Marinate the steak with the Worcestershire sauce, pepper and coarse salt.
Heat a grill or grill pan. Grill the steak to desired doneness. Rest the steak and keep warm for serving.
In a food processor, combine the cilantro, parsley, olive oil, cumin, lemon juice, a splash of the rice vinegar and some kosher salt. Pulse until just smooth, but still a little bit chunky.
Preheat a deep fryer to 350 degrees F.
In a bowl, combine the salt, sugar and chili powder. Fry the yucca until crisped, then drain and toss in the spice mixture.
Slice the steak, top with the chimichurri and serve with the fried yucca.
