Grilled flank steak is one of my favorite summer dishes – it’s a quick-cooking lean cut of beef with a delicious savory flavor. It pairs perfectly with a simple, fresh chimichurri sauce that’s so easy to make. If you’re looking for an easy grilling recipe this summer, you need to try this flank steak with chimichurri.
I have a special place in my heart for flank steak. I love the intense beefy flavor, and it’s pretty easy to cook on the grill during the summer.
While it’s called steak, it’s technically not – it’s a lean cut of beef from the cow’s belly. Because it’s so lean, it has the potential to be a little tough, but proper cooking technique solves that issue. Done right, it’s tender and so delicious.
