Ingredients
- 1 & 1/2 cups curly-leaf parsley packed fresh
- 3/4 cup olive oil
- 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 2 tablespoons dried oregano
- 2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 cloves fresh garlic roughly chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper dried
- 2 pound pieces flank steak
- 1 ounce thin French-bread baguette cut into 40 slices
- additional olive oil
Instructions
- Blend parsley, 3/4 cup olive oil, vinegar, oregano, cumin, 1 teaspoon salt, minced garlic, and crushed red pepper in a food processor or blender until smooth. Place meat in large glass baking dish. Sprinkle with salt and pepper on both sides. Brush or rub meat with 2 tablespoons chimichurri sauce. Cover steaks with plastice wrap and throw it in the fridge. Transfer the remaining sauce to a tupperware. Refrigerate the sauce and the meat at least 1 hour. (This can be made 1 day ahead. Keep refrigerated.)
- Preheat oven to 450°F. Place bread slices on large baking sheet. Brush with olive oil. Bake until just firm, about 5 minutes. You can also broil these for about one minute, on one or both sides, if you don't feel like heating your oven. Transfer to large platter.
- You can broil the meat or grill it. Preheat broiler. Transfer meat to rimmed baking sheet and broil until cooked to desired doneness, about 4 minutes per side for medium. (If you are grilling, it is the same: about 3-4 minutes per side for medium. Make sure the grill is on high heat.) Transfer to cutting board. Let stand 5 minutes. Cut each steak along grain in half. Cut each half crosswise against grain into 10 thin slices. Top each bread slice with 1 piece of meat. Drizzle each with chimichurri sauce; place on platter. Spoon remaining sauce into small bowl and place in center of platter. Serve warm or let stand up to 2 hours at room temperature. You can serve this as an appetizer or main dish.
