Flank Steak with Chimichurri
- Two 1-pound flank steaks
- 4 cups lightly packed flat-leaf parsley leaves
- 4 garlic cloves
- 1/2 small shallot
- 2 tablespoons sherry vinegar
- 1 tablespoon drained capers
- Salt
- 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Freshly ground pepper
- Preheat the oven to 375.
- Remove the steaks from the refrigerator.
- In a blender, pulse the parsley with the garlic, shallot, vinegar, capers, 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 cup of water until coarsely chopped.
- Add 1/4 cup of the olive oil in a steady stream and blend until thick and smooth.
- Transfer the chimichurri to a serving bowl.
- Generously season the steaks with salt and pepper.
- Heat a very large ovenproof skillet until very hot.
- Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil, add the steaks and cook over high heat until nicely browned, about 2 minutes per side.
- Transfer the skillet to the oven and roast the steaks for 15 minutes, until medium-rare.
- Transfer the steaks to a cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes, then cut them across the grain 1/2 inch thick and serve with the chimichurri.
