Bobby Flay Grilled Flank Steak with Chimichurri Sauce Recipe

Bobby Flay Grilled Flank Steak with Chimichurri Sauce Recipe
Print Recipe

Flank steak is a lean, flavorful cut that cooks quickly on high heat. In Bobby Flay’s version, the steak is marinated to tenderize it and grilled to perfection before being topped with chimichurri sauce — a classic Argentinian condiment made from parsley, oregano, garlic, olive oil, and vinegar. The sauce adds freshness and tang, balancing the rich, smoky steak beautifully.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Steak:

  • 1 ½ lbs flank steak

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil

  • 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar

  • 3 garlic cloves, minced

  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

For the Chimichurri Sauce:

  • 1 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped

  • 2 tablespoons fresh oregano, chopped (or 1 tablespoon dried)

  • 3 garlic cloves, minced

  • ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

  • ½ cup olive oil

  • 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar

  • Juice of ½ lemon

  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Prepare the marinade – In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, red wine vinegar, garlic, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.

  • Marinate the steak – Place the flank steak in a shallow dish or resealable bag. Pour the marinade over and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 8 hours for maximum flavor.

  • Preheat the grill – Heat the grill to medium-high and lightly oil the grates.

  • Grill the steak – Remove steak from marinade and pat dry. Grill for 4–5 minutes per side for medium-rare or until desired doneness.

  • Rest the steak – Transfer to a cutting board and let rest for 5–10 minutes to retain juices.

  • Make the chimichurri – In a bowl, combine parsley, oregano, garlic, red pepper flakes, olive oil, vinegar, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Stir until well mixed.

  • Serve and garnish – Slice the steak thinly against the grain and drizzle generously with chimichurri sauce.
