Flank Steak with Chimichurri

Flank Steak with Chimichurri Sauce

This chimichurri sauce is adapted from a recipe by Jamie Purviance of "Weber's Way to Grill" and this flank steak is adapted from a recipe from Grandma Bond. Although a very simple recipe, you will need to plan ahead, as the steak is better if it is allowed to marinate overnight. The chimichurri sauce can be made a day in advance. I often double the chimichurri portion of the recipe so that I can use it on other things as well!
