Cilantro Chimichurri Flank Steak is seasoned, quickly grilled and served sliced with fresh cilantro chimichurri sauce and sides.

This is one of our go-to summer dinners for dining on the patio. Flank steak is relatively light because it’s a leaner type of meat. I like to serve with a fresh tomato avocado salad and some pinto beans.

Serve flank steak cooked to medium and sliced against the grain. It grills up quickly making it a perfect weeknight recipe or al fresco dining on the patio. Topped with plenty of cilantro chimichurri, a blend of fresh cilantro, garlic, red wine vinegar, avocado oil, agave, salt and pepper, for an unbelievable amount of flavor.

Chimichurri makes a fresh herb sauce often found in South American or Mexican cooking. The standard herb used is fresh parsley, but I like to experiment and switch out the herbs. Cilantro is a leafy green that works really well in chimichurri.
