Grilled Steak & Chimichurri Salad

Resting the steak for a full 10 minutes before slicing lets the juices redistribute — slice too early and they all spill out onto the cutting board instead of staying in the meat.

Ingredients

  • 1.5 lbs flank steak
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 6 cups mixed greens
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/2 cup fresh parsley
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 3 tbsp red wine vinegar
  • 1/2 cup olive oil (for chimichurri)
  • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes

Method

  1. 1

    Season steak with salt and pepper, sear in 2 tbsp olive oil over high heat 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare.

  2. 2

    Rest the steak on a cutting board for a full 10 minutes before slicing — cutting into it early lets all the juices spill out onto the board instead of staying in the meat.

  3. 3

    Blend parsley, cilantro, garlic, red wine vinegar, olive oil, and red pepper flakes for the chimichurri.

  4. 4

    Slice the rested steak thinly against the grain.

  5. 5

    Toss greens and tomatoes, top with sliced steak, and drizzle generously with chimichurri.
