I made this last night. The rub for the steak was delicious, although I may omit the salt next time. It was a huge success! I served the steak and chimichurri with black beans and tostones. I will definitely be making this again, and soon!
Grilled Flank Steak with Chimichurri
Steak with chimichurri is one of Argentina's national dishes. Although it's difficult to find, the author likes skirt steak, a full-flavored, inexpensive strip similar to flank steak. The steak is flavored with a rub modeled on "dry" chimichurri, popular among Argentina's gaucho's.
Yield: 6 servings (serving size: 3 ounces steak and 2 tablespoons chimichurri)
