Mandez's Flat Iron Steak W/ Chimichurri Recipe

Marinate the Steak

In a large bowl, combine the flat iron steak, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Ensure the steak is well coated with the marinade. Cover the bowl and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes (up to 2 hours) for optimal flavor.

Preheat the Grill

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, approximately 400°F (200°C) to ensure a nice sear on the steak.

Cook the Steak

Remove the steak from the marinade and discard any excess marinade. Place the steak on the hot grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until it reaches your desired doneness. Use a meat thermometer for accuracy (130°F or 54°C for medium-rare).

Rest the Steak

Once cooked, remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing. This helps retain the juices.

Combine Ingredients

In a mixing bowl, add the chopped parsley, chopped cilantro, minced garlic, red wine vinegar, olive oil, red chili flakes, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine all ingredients thoroughly.

Adjust Seasoning

Taste the chimichurri sauce and adjust the seasoning if necessary. You can add more salt, pepper, or red chili flakes according to your preference.

Let it Sit

Let the chimichurri sauce sit for at least 10-15 minutes for the flavors to meld before serving.
