Made my first flank steak on the grill for dinner last night. My family ate in complete silence, which means they liked it!
This meal came together quickly, mostly because I made the sauce while the grill was heating up. I made some asparagus while the meat was resting, so from start to finish I had food on the table in about 45 minutes (my wife pulled the steak out of the fridge before I got home and made some instant mashed potatoes while I was grilling).
The flank steak was just seasoned with salt and pepper and cooked at 700* for about 4 minutes per side.
The asparagus was seasoned with EVOO, salt and pepper and cooked at 700* until I started to get some charring around the outside.
I served the flank steak on a chimichurri sauce, which was incredible. Here's the recipe:
Chimichurri Sauce
1 bunch cilantro
1 bunch parsley
½ Serrano pepper, seeded with membrane removed
2 cloves garlic
½ cup extra virgin olive oil
2 ½ tablespoons red wine vinegar
½ teaspoon cumin
½ teaspoon salt (or to taste)
Whirl in a blender till smooth
