Ingredients
2 pounds flank steak (serves 6)
1oz of Chimichurri Biondi
Instructions
Marinating
Lay the trimmed flank steak flat in the marinade. (Be sure the excess fat has been trimmed from the outside).
Turn the steak to coat both sides. There is no need to cover the meat with marinade.
Cover and marinate the steak overnight and keep it refrigerated for the best results.
Flip the flank steak every few hours to get all of that marinade into the meat.
The combination of savory and sour herb ingredients of Chimichurri Biondi will be absorbed by the meat.
This will help break down the muscle and create an amazing tender meal.
Quick-grill flank steak
Get your grill HOT. You want the flank steak to sear quickly to hold in all juices. We recommend a 450 – 500 degree grill if you have a thermometer.
Shake the excess marinade off, but don’t wipe it off of the flank steak.
Place the marinated flank steak directly on the hot grill.
Sear for 3-4 minutes. Rotate 45 degrees and continue to cook for 3 minutes.
Flip and repeat.
Transfer to a plate and cover with foil. Let rest for 15 minutes.
Thinly slice the grilled flank steak in thin strips across the grain.
Serve warm with roasted vegetables and chimichurri sauce.

Just remember: Hot grill, sear quickly, cover, rest, slice across the grain.
Notes
If you do not have time to marinate overnight, at least marinate for 3 hours (or use a vacuum sealer system for quick marinating).
Cooking times of your flank steak will vary based on thickness of steak, grill temperature, grill type and preferred doneness.
