Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ to 2 pounds flank or skirt steak
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (for brushing steak)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper (to taste)
  • 1 cup fresh parsley leaves, packed (flat-leaf preferred)
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh oregano leaves or 2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • ½ cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • Salt and pepper (to taste)
  • 1 large red bell pepper, sliced into strips
  • 1 medium zucchini, sliced lengthwise
  • 1 small red onion, cut into wedges
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (for tossing vegetables)
  • Salt and pepper (to taste)

Instructions

  1. Pat the steak dry with paper towels. Brush both sides lightly with olive oil and season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Let it sit at room temperature for about 20 minutes.
  2. Combine parsley, minced garlic, oregano, red pepper flakes, red wine vinegar, and olive oil in a medium bowl. Stir well, season with salt and pepper to taste, and set aside at room temperature.
  3. Toss sliced bell pepper, zucchini, and red onion in olive oil, salt, and pepper. Set aside.
  4. Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
  5. Grill vegetables for about 3-4 minutes per side until tender and charred. Remove and keep warm.
  6. Grill steak for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare (135°F internal temperature). Adjust time for preferred doneness.
  7. Transfer steak to a cutting board, cover loosely with foil, and rest for 5-10 minutes.
  8. Slice steak thinly against the grain. Plate with grilled vegetables and spoon chimichurri sauce over the top. Serve immediately.

Notes

Let the steak rest after grilling to keep it juicy. Prepare chimichurri sauce a day ahead for enhanced flavor. Avoid overcrowding the grill to ensure proper charring. Use a meat thermometer for precise doneness.
