Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 pounds flank steak
  • 1 cup flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
  • 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 baguette or ciabatta bread

Instructions

  1. Prepare the chimichurri marinade by mixing parsley, garlic, red wine vinegar, olive oil, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
  2. Place flank steak in a resealable bag and pour half of the chimichurri marinade over it. Seal and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  3. Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Remove steak from the marinade (discard leftover marinade) and grill for about 6-8 minutes per side or until desired doneness.
  4. Let the steak rest for 10 minutes before slicing against the grain into thin strips.
  5. Assemble the sandwich by spreading remaining chimichurri on one side of the bread, layering with sliced steak, and adding any additional toppings like lettuce or tomatoes.
  6. Serve immediately while warm.
