Ingredients
- 1 pound flank steak
- 1/2 cup garlic scapes, chopped
- 1/4 cup parsley, chopped
- 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Remove the flank steak from the refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking to allow it to come to room temperature, which ensures even cooking.
- In a food processor, combine chopped garlic scapes, parsley, red wine vinegar, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Pulse until the mixture is finely chopped but not completely smooth, creating a vibrant green chimichurri sauce.
- Pat the flank steak dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture, which helps achieve a better sear.
- Season both sides of the steak generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- Preheat your grill or grill pan to high heat, aiming for a temperature around 450-500°F.
- Place the steak on the hot grill and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or adjust cooking time to your preferred doneness.
- Use tongs to flip the steak only once, avoiding multiple turns to maintain a good sear and prevent moisture loss.
- Remove the steak from the grill and let it rest on a cutting board for 5-7 minutes, allowing the juices to redistribute.
- Slice the steak against the grain into thin strips to ensure tenderness.
- Drizzle the prepared garlic scape chimichurri over the sliced steak and serve immediately.
