Chimichurri-Topped Flank Steak

This is a delicious - and relatively quick dinner - I served it with roasted potatoes and a green salad topped with tomatoes and avocados. Thankfully, I had the foresight to set some of the slices aside for steak sandwiches for lunch the next day. Otherwise, we would have eaten till it was completely devoured.


Ingredients
Meat
  • 1 flank steak, between 2 and 3 pounds) 
  • 1 T organic brown sugar 
  • 1 T paprika 
  • 1 t smoked paprika
  • 1 t freshly ground salt
  • 1/2 t ground cumin 
  • 1/2 t ground coriander 
  • olive oil

Chimichurri
  • 2 C fresh cilantro
  • 1 C fresh parsley
  • 2 T fresh oregano
  • 2 T fresh mint
  • 5 cloves garlic
  • 2 T vinegar (I used a white balsamic)
  • juice from 1 lemon
  • zest from 1 lemon
  • olive oil
  • optional: freshly ground salt and freshly ground pepper

Procedure
Meat
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Place the flank steak on a parchment-lined baking sheet. In a small bowl, combine the sugar, paprikas, salt, cumin, and coriander. Sprinkle the spices over the flank steak and rub it in. Drizzle with olive oil. Then roast in the preheated oven for between 25 and 40 minutes, depending on desired level of doneness.

Remove from oven and let rest 10 minutes before slicing and serving. While the flank steak roasts and rest, prepare your sauce.

Chimichurri
Put all ingredients - except olive oil - in blender and pulse to a thick paste. Remove from blender and whisk in olive oil until desired consistency. To serve, place the chimichurri on top of flank steak slices.

This month the French Winophiles group is looking at affordable wines from Burgundy.  Host Cindy of Grape Experiences wrote: "Burgundy, or Bourgogne, is known for its wines of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir... as well as Aligote, Gamay, Sauvignon, César, Pinot Beurot, Sacy, Melon in lesser quantities. Many of the well-known wines are quite expensive, but there are plenty of values to be found."

You're Invited: Take a (Virtual) Hawaiian Holiday with #FoodNFlix

Fall Break, Oahu, October 2017 For June, I am hosting  Food'N'Flix , the movie-watching, food-making group rallied by Heather of  All Roads Lead to the Kitchen . This week, my older son was supposed to graduate from high school and we were supposed to leave on a family vacation to the Big Island. But, as enter our eleventh week of being sheltered in place to flatten the curve of the coronavirus, all of our summer plans were canceled, including this long-planned graduation trip to Hawaii. Boo.
