Broiled Flank Steak with Chimichurri |

In the fall, when the weather turns brisk and a pot of beans is simmering on the stove, I start craving steaks. I happen to love flank steak, so when I remember to pick some up, I’m usually in a good mood. I’ll sear a few strips and pair them with a bright and spicy chimichurri sauce, and then I’m pretty happy. You will be too.

You can’t go wrong with flank steak. If you want the ultimate meal, get yourself a nice, lean strip of beef with a nice, crusty outer layer. But what if you want to play with your food? Then here’s a trick to get a great taste and a great texture that isn’t too tough or too stringy and that is delicious.

I had been looking forward to trying this recipe for quite a while and was not disappointed. The flank steak was perfectly cooked and the Chimichurri was simple and easy to make. It was the perfect way to prepare my beef!

Because I live in a tiny flat, I’m restricted to cooking steak on the stovetop or in the oven, which makes it difficult to come up with excellent steak recipes. I wish I had enough room to buy a grill or a smoker, but until then, I try to come up with different methods to use the same items.

Broiling the flank steak is a simple way to change up my technique, and with this dish, I took it a step further and created a Broiled Chimichurri-dressed flank steak sauce.

The steak is grilled to perfection, with a crisp seasoned outside and juicy middle, and then topped with a fresh chimichurri sauce made with parsley, cilantro, and jalapeo.

Chimichurri Sauce is a kind of chimichurri sauce that is used is a kind of chimichurri sauce that is used: What Is It?

Chimichurri is a South American sauce that is often served raw with steak. It’s prepared by chopping parsley, cilantro, garlic, chile pepper, and vegetable oil, then blending them together. When marinating flank steak, I bring it to room temperature and season liberally with oil, spices, salt, and pepper before letting it rest in the marinade for 30 minutes. The chimichurri sauce will give the remainder of the taste, but the steak will be tenderized by being in the marinade.

Chimichurri sauce may be left as is or blended in a blender for a smoother consistency.

How to prepare a flank steak

I chose to broil my flank steak to cook it fast while also rendering the fat till it was crispy. Because there isn’t a lot of fat in the steak, it’s easy to overcook it.

I cooked mine for approximately 4 minutes each side under the broiler, and it turned out medium-rare and browned on both sides. I covered it with chimichurri sauce and served it with onions, peppers, and rice. I love cooking with the broiler and have done so in the past with my Oven Baked Garlic Rosemary London Broil recipe.

I’d want to make a confession. Despite the fact that I’ve trained myself to be a better chef in a variety of areas, there’s one thing I’ll never get right: rice. Yes, that’s one of the most basic things, yet I always manage to screw it up. You can if you’re familiar with rice, but this one was severely undercooked (but we ate it anyways). I should definitely buy a rice cooker; maybe Santa will bring one to me for Christmas.
