Author Notes
My boyfriend and I love to entertain and grill during summer season. We grill anything we can think of either with marinade or dry rub. I got the idea of using chimichurri sauce for the steak when I went to a Cuban/South American restaurant that serves slow roast pulled pork with chimichurri sauce. I thought the combination of meat and herb sauce was heavenly. This recipe can be described as East meets South American/ Cuban as the steak is first seasoned with sesame soy marinade dressing before grilling. The chimichurri sauce adds a touch to brighten the dish. —Skinny bitches
