Chimmi Churi Flank Steak

If you are looking for fresh flavor, this is a recipe you NEED! It’s fresh, herbacious, with a little spice and lots of flavor. The best part is, that it’s super easy to make and you don’t need a food processor (a.k.a. an easy cleanup meal!) Sometimes I find myself getting bored with just a plain seasoned steak. This is the best way to dress up and excite the flavor, without drenching it in butter and garlic.

I made this steak and ate it as is, but it would also do well as a chimmi churi taco, or even a chimmi churi steak salad. Yum!

For this recipe, make sure that you use a high quality extra virgin olive oil. The peppery finish of a good olive oil really makes these so tasty, and not to mention adds a lot of healthy fats and polyphenols!

Ingredients

Chimi Churi Sauce I

• 1/4 cup finely chopped parsley

Instructions

Instructions

1. Preheat a cast iron skillet on medium heat. While preheating, season your flank steak evenly with salt, pepper and oregano.
2. While the pan is still preheating, combine all of the sauce ingredients in a medium bowl. Mix thoroughly and adjust salt and pepper to taste. Set aside, and let the flavors marinate.
3. Once the pan is preheated, sear the steak for 3-5 minutes on one side or until it is browned, the flip. Cook for another 3-5 minutes or until the steak is cooked to your liking.
4. Remove from the pan, let sit for a few minutes, and then serve with chimmi churri sauce atop. Serve on a bed of greens, with steamed veggies, as a taco, or however you desire!

Notes

I seared this steak in a cast iron skillet, but you can also grill the steak till cooked to your liking.

You can use Dried Oregano in place of the fresh oregano. Instead of 1 Tablespoon, if you are using dried oregano, use 1/2 Tablespoon.
