For the Chimichurri Sauce

Method

Preparing the Churrasco

  1. 1

    Marinate the Flank Steak

    In a bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Mix well. Place the flank steak in a resealable bag and pour the marinade over it. Seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to 4 hours.

  2. 2

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to high heat (about 450°F to 500°F).

  3. 3

    Grill the Steak

    Remove the flank steak from the marinade and let any excess drip off. Place the steak on the grill and cook for about 5-7 minutes per side for medium-rare (or until desired doneness).

  4. 4

    Rest the Steak

    Once cooked, remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Preparing the Chimichurri Sauce

  1. 5

    Chop the Herbs

    Finely chop the fresh parsley and fresh oregano. Set aside.

  2. 6

    Make the Sauce

    In a bowl, combine the chopped parsley, oregano, minced garlic, red wine vinegar, olive oil, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until combined.

  3. 7

    Serve the Sauce

    Let the chimichurri sit for at least 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld before serving with grilled steak.
