I can't remember when I first started making this, but I do remember that I wanted a steak one day, only I wanted it to feel light. So I decided on a flank steak, and I decided I'd wait a day to get what I wanted. There are a couple of keys to making this work. First, choose a delicate EVOO. Second, Slice the meat as thinly as you can. Third, slice it against the grain. —Joe11

What You'll Need
Ingredients
  • The Marinade
  • 1 medium sized Lemons
  • 1 lbs Flank Steak
  • 4 large cloves of Garlic
  • 1/2 cup delicate olive oil
  • 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 2 teaspoons pepper
  • Chimichurri
  • 1/2 bunch parsley
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 1/2 cup delicate EVOO
  • 2 pinches red pepper flakes
  • red wine vinegar to taste
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 pinch black pepper
Directions
  1. The Marinade
  2. Use a fork to dock the meat all over - especially if your flank steak looks like it has a lot of sinue.
  3. In a large plastic ziploc bag or a ceramic or glass baking dish, pour in the olive oil.
  4. Cut the lemon in half and squeeze juice into the bag or dish. If you're using a bag, add in the squeezed lemon halves, too. If you're using a baking dish, you may need to cut these into smaller pieces.
  5. Crush the Garlic Cloves with your hands or the flat side of a knife and remove the skins. Place these in your bag or dish.
  6. Add in the rest of your ingredients.
  7. Massage the meat with the marinade for a few minutes and make sure that the meat is completely covered.
  8. Refrigerate overnight - it's worth it to wait.
  9. Get your grill as hot as you can and cook about 4 - 6 minutes per side.
  10. Remove from the grill and let it rest for about 10 - 12 minutes.
