Chimichurri Steak Salad
Description
The Chimichurri Steak Salad features flank steak grilled over medium-high heat and seasoned simply with kosher salt and pepper. The steak’s surface develops a nice crust while staying juicy internally. After resting, it is thinly sliced against the grain to maximize tenderness. The chimichurri sauce, a blend of fresh parsley, oregano, garlic, red pepper flakes, red wine vinegar, and olive oil, adds a herby, tangy, and slightly spicy note that complements the beef.
Served on a bed of baby greens and topped with halved grape tomatoes, the salad offers fresh, crisp texture and sweet bursts from the tomatoes. The chimichurri can be drizzled over the salad or tossed with the greens before adding steak, allowing flexibility in serving. This approach creates a balanced dish that’s hearty from the steak and lightened by fresh vegetables and herbs.
