Flank Steak with Chimichurri Sauce

Ingredients

Chimichurri sauce is a popular marinade among Argentine gauchos, who grill on an open barbeque in the pampas. Flank steak grows tender with the help of a marinade and cooks quickly.

1 ½ lb beef flank steak

6 cloves garlic, finely chopped

1 c grape seed oil

½ c white wine vinegar

½ c lemon juice

¼ c parsley

1 teaspoon crushed red pepper

Directions

1. Cut diamond pattern ⅛ inch deep into both sides of the beef. Place beef in shallow glass or plastic dish. Shake remaining ingredients in tightly covered jar. Pour 1 c sauce over beef. Cover remaining sauce. Cover and refrigerate beef, turning occasionally, at least 4 hours.

2. Remove beef from sauce. Grill beef 4 or 5 inches from medium coals, turning and brushing with sauce once, until desired doneness, 6 to 8 minutes on each side for medium. Cut beef diagonally across the grain into thin slices. Serve with reserved sauce.
