Grilled flank steak with chimichurri sauce. The parsley in the garden is so healthy, I thought I’d try to use it up while I still can! I’m so glad I did!
Balsamic Marinated Flank Steak
Ingredients
- 3 lb Angus Beef flank steak
- 2 garlic cloves, sliced
- 1 tablespoon rosemary leaves
- 1 tablespoon dried oregano
- 2 tablespoons whole-grain mustard
- 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
- 1 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for grilling
- Kosher salt Freshly ground pepper
Preparation
In a blender, combine the garlic, rosemary, oregano, mustard and vinegar and puree until the garlic is minced. With the machine on, gradually add the oil and blend until creamy. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
Add the meat to a glass or ceramic baking dish and pour all but 1/4 cup of the vinaigrette on top; turn the meat to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours and up to 24 hours.
Preheat the grill to medium-high.
Remove the steak from the marinade, letting the excess drip off. Season with salt and pepper.
Grill the steak turning once 90° on each side until lightly charred and an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part registers 125°, 10 to 12 minutes.
Transfer the steak to a carving board and let rest for 5 minutes.
Thinly slice the meat against the grain and serve with Chimichurri Sauce.
