Flank Steak With Chimichurri Sauce (Argentina)
"This recipe is from week 12 of my food blog, "Travel by Stove." I am attempting to cook one meal from every nation on Earth, and Argentina is my 12th stop. Chimichurri sauce, made from chopped herbs, venegar and other spices--is very popular in Argentina and is often used to flavor beef and other meats. The Chimichurri recipe is from Rebecca Caro at From Argentina with Love"

ingredients
-
For the steak
- 1 1⁄2 lbs flank steaks
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- salt and pepper
-
For the Chimichurri
- 4 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1⁄4 cup red wine vinegar
- 1⁄4 cup red wine
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
- 1⁄2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
- 1⁄4 cup chopped fresh oregano
- 1⁄4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1⁄4 extra-virgin olive oil
- 1⁄2 cup minced fresh flat-leaf parsley
directions
- Finely chop the herbs, mince the garlic, and whisk all the chimichurri ingredients together in a small bowl.
- Brush the steak with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill over a medium flame until the internal temperature reaches about 140 degrees (the meat will continue to cook a little after you take it off the fire, which will give you a medium rare steak).
- Cut the meat into thin strips and serve topped with the Chimichurri sauce.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I am a mother of two with another one on the way! I am married to an Englishman and we own a small business in our local area. We live in a very small town called Rough and Ready (yes there really is a place called Rough and Ready!) I am a part-time writer and full time mom. My kids were born 15 months apart and keep me so busy I barely have enough time to cook and no time at all for my other passion, horseback riding. I once had four horses but am down to two; my Arab mare Argo and old Denver. Both of them spend the vast majority of their time standing around in my back yard eating hay. I get to feed them and look at them, but until my kids are all in school (and I stop having more kids) that's about it.
