Ingredients

Scale

For the Steak Marinade:

  • 1 flank steak (about 2 pounds)
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • Juice of 1 lime

For the Chimichurri:

  • 1 cup fresh cilantro, packed
  • 1 cup fresh parsley, packed
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 1/2 diced onion
  • 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1/3 cup oil

Instructions

  • Step 1 – In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, chili powder, onion powder, salt, and lime juice. Place the flank steak in a resealable bag, pour in the marinade, and ensure the steak is well coated. Seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or overnight for deeper flavor.
  • Step 2 – In a food processor, combine cilantro, parsley, garlic, onion, red wine vinegar, red pepper flakes, and oil. Pulse until the ingredients are finely chopped and well-mixed.
  • Step 3 – Preheat your grill or air fryer to medium-high heat (around 400°F if using an air fryer).
  • Step 4 – Remove the steak from the marinade and grill or air fry for about 6-7 minutes per side for medium-rare, adjusting the time based on thickness and desired doneness.
  • Step 5 – After cooking, allow the steak to rest for about 5 minutes to help the juices redistribute throughout the meat.
  • Step 6 – Cut the steak against the grain into thin slices and serve topped with the fresh chimichurri sauce.
