Steak Marinade
- 1 1/2 pounds flank steak or carne asada
- 33333333/100000000 cup olive oil
- 1 lemon, juiced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 3 garlic cloves, minced (optional)
- salt and pepper, to taste Chimichurri Sauce
- 1 large bunch parsley, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons shallot or red onion, finely chopped
- 1 1/2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- black pepper or red pepper flakes, to taste
Instructions
- Step 1: Prepare the sauce by adding all of the Chimichurri ingredients to a small bowl and stirring until combined. Refrigerate the chimichurri until ready to use.
- Step 2: Whisk all of the steak marinade ingredients together in a small bowl. Place the steak in a glass container and pour the marinade inside, making sure all of the meat is well coated. You could also do this same process with a resealable bag of choice. Marinate the meat for 1 to 6 hours.
- Step 3: Heat a large cast-iron pan or ridged grill-pan over medium-high heat. Add the steak and cook for approximately 5 to 7 minutes per side. 5 minutes for medium-rare, 6 minutes for medium, and 7 for medium-well.
- Step 4: Transfer the steak to a cutting board, cover it lightly with foil, and let it rest for another 5 minutes. The resting time will yield a juicer steak once you cut into it.
- Serve: Slice the steak against the grain, spoon the chimichurri sauce over the top, and enjoy. This is great served at the table alongside more chimichurri sauce. Any leftover sauce can be refrigerated up to 5 days.
