Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup parsley leaves (, tightly packed)
1 tbsp oregano leaves (, tightly packed (still lovely without))
4 garlic cloves (, minced)
0 - 2 tsp red pepper flakes ((optional - adjust to taste))
1/4 cup (65 ml) red wine vinegar ((Note 1))

700g / 1.4lb flat iron, flank, skirt steak (or other steak of choice, at room temperature (Note 3))
Salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Place all ingredients except oil in a food processor. Whizz until parsley is finely chopped, but not pureed - see video or photos. Alternatively chop parsley by hand.
  • Transfer into a small bowl. Add oil, gently stir. Set aside for 1 hour before use, overnight is even better!
  • Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator and use within 3 days (Note 3). Makes 3/4 cup.
  • Take steak out of the fridge 30 minutes prior to cooking.
  • Heat BBQ or heavy based skillet with 1 tbsp vegetable or canola oil over high heat until smoking.
  • Sprinkle each side of steak generously with salt and pepper.
  • Add steak and cook to your liking.
  • Cook times: for steak 2cm / 4/5" thick, 2 min on each side for medium rare (until internal temp is 52C/125F, will rise to 54C/130F after resting) OR 2 1/2 min each side for medium (internal temp 57C/135F, will rise to 60C/140F).
  • Transfer to a plate, cover loosely with foil and rest for 5 - 10 minutes.
  • Cut thin slices against the grain (see photo below) and serve with Chimichurri Sauce on the side so people can help themselves.
