:
- 1 cup flat-leaf parsley1
- 1 cup cilantro1
- 1/4 cup fresh oregano1
- 1/4 cup red onion, chopped1
- 6 cloves garlic, minced1
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes1
- 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil1
- 1/4 cup red wine vinegar1
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt1
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper1
- : In a food processor, combine parsley, cilantro, oregano, red onion, garlic, red pepper flakes, olive oil, red wine vinegar, salt, and pepper4. Pulse until finely chopped but not completely smooth. Set aside4.
- : For extra flavor and tenderness, marinate the London broil in your favorite marinade for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight2. If you’re short on time, no worries – just season it generously with garlic salt and pepper2.
- : Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until it’s smoking hot2. This is key to getting a beautiful sear on the steak.
- : Place the London broil in the hot skillet and cook for 7-12 minutes on each side, depending on your desired level of doneness2. For medium-rare, aim for 7-8 minutes per side2.
- : Remove the steak from the skillet and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing2. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful steak. Slice thinly against the grain2.
- : Drizzle generously with the chimichurri sauce and serve immediately4.
- : Serve with roasted vegetables and a side of mashed potatoes for a comforting and satisfying meal.
- : Slice the London broil and serve it over a bed of mixed greens with cherry tomatoes, avocado, and a drizzle of extra chimichurri.
- : Use the sliced London broil as a filling for tacos, topped with chimichurri, onions, and cilantro.
- : Add more red pepper flakes or a chopped jalapeño to the chimichurri sauce for an extra kick7.
- : Experiment with different herbs in the chimichurri sauce, such as mint or basil5.
- : The chimichurri sauce can be made a day or two in advance and stored in the refrigerator4. This is a great way to save time on busy weeknights.
