This recipe is delicious and so easy to make. I usually double the recipe b/c it is so good on the rice I serve it with. I have eaten in authentic Argentinian rest and this is better, a lot less greasy, just great flavors!

Loved the flavor the chimichuri imparted on the beef. Incredibly quick and easy. My chimichuri turned out a little watery, should have ommitted the water.

This recipe was fantastic. The garlic rubbed steak with the light and citrusy chimichurri sauce was absolutely delicious! And, super easy. I served it with Goya yellow rice and black beans. Easiest meal I have made in a long time and truly fantastic. I will definitely be making this again! I also want to add that you can use the rub on any cut of meat... if flank is not your style. Enjoy!
