Chimichurri is the newest love in our house. I know it has been around for a long time, but we recently discovered this divine combination of fresh flavors.
Last summer, when the world started to open up, our first stop for dinner was a local restaurant called Pretty Rad. It was a new spot in the downtown core where we sat outside and people watched while moaning in ecstasy-yup, the steak was that good. The chimichurri flavor was fresh with a slight kick and was insanely fantastic. I went on a mission to find a chimichurri topping for steak that mimicked what we ate during that summer night.
And I found one!
This recipe works best with flank steak, but if you want to go ahead and grill up a sirloin and slice it thinly. It will be fantastic!
As a side note, when you decide to make this meal, be mindful that it is best when marinated for up to 8 hours. I would recommend that you combine the marinade ingredients and dunk the steak in the morning to let it soak up the flavors all day.
