Servings: 4
Ingredients
For the Steak
- 1 pound flank steak
- ½ tablespoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon salt
- freshly ground black pepper to taste
For the Chimichurri Sauce
- ½ cup extra virgin olive oil
- ¾ cup cilantro leaves roughly chopped
- 2 cloves garlic
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes plus more for garnish, optional
- ½ teaspoon salt
- freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Prep. Soak the wooden skewers in water for 20 minutes. Then, preheat the grill to medium-high.
- Prepare the steak. Slice the flank steak against the grain into 16 to 20 strips; they should be between ⅛-inch to ¼-inch thick. Season the steak slices with cumin, salt, and pepper.
- Skewer it. Thread the steak onto the skewers, accordion style. Set aside.
- Make the chimichurri sauce. In a blender, combine the olive oil, chopped cilantro, garlic, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Pulse until thoroughly combined, then set aside.
- Grill. Brush the grill grates with olive oil. Place the steak skewers on the grill and cook for about 1 minute per side, or until browned and grill marks appear.
- Finish and serve. Remove the steak skewers from the grill and let them rest for a couple of minutes. Bruth the steaks with the chimichurri sauce, garnish with red pepper flakes, if you like, and serve.
