Ingredients
  • 1 (2-pound) flank steak
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon pepper
  • 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
  • 2 tablespoons grapeseed oil (or any high-smoke point oil)
  • 1 cup parsley, stems removed
  • 1 cup cilantro, stems removed
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 1 shallot, roughly chopped
  • 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons oregano
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • ½ cup olive oil
Directions
  1. Pat flank steak completely dry with a paper towel.
  2. Season on both sides with salt, pepper, and paprika.
  3. Heat a cast iron grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat and add the grapeseed oil.
  4. Once hot, add the steak and sear on both sides until a brown crust forms, about 5 to 6 minutes per side.
  5. Remove the steak from heat and cover with foil for 5 minutes, or until ready to serve.
  6. To make the chimichurri, add parsley, cilantro, garlic, shallot, vinegar, oregano, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper to a food processor and pulse to chop.
  7. While pulsing, add the olive oil slowly until chimichurri is smooth.
  8. Serve the flank steak with chimichurri drizzled over top or on the side.
