Name: Grilled Flank Steak with Garlic-Parsley Sauce
Yield: Serves 4
Ingredients: 1/2 cup minced fresh parsley leaves; 1/4 cup minced red onion; 2 medium cloves garlic, minced; 1/4 cup red wine vinegar; 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil; 1/8 teaspoon hot red pepper flakes; 1 1/2 pounds flank steak

Why This Recipe Works

In our Grilled Flank Steak with Garlic-Parsley Sauce recipe, we skipped the marinade. A sauce applied to the steak after grilling lent more flavor than any marinade we tried. We grilled the steak quickly over a very hot fire to keep the meat moist and tender. It was best to keep it rare to medium rare; otherwise it could toughen. A bold-flavored, spicy parsley and garlic sauce—based on the Argentine staple, chimichurri—was a natural match for our grilled flank steak recipe. Our ultimate Grilled Flank Steak with Garlic-Parsley Sauce recipe made for a full-flavored, tender, juicy flank steak with a delicious kick of vivid sauce.

Before You Begin

Don't waste hours marinating flank steak before cooking it. Coating the grilled steak with a potent sauce adds just as much flavor--and takes just 5 minutes.

Instructions

Combine parsley, onion, garlic, vinegar, oil, pepper flakes, and salt and pepper to taste in small bowl. Season steak with salt and pepper to taste.

Grill steak over very hot fire until browned on both sides and slightly less done than you want, about 10 minutes.

Place steak in baking dish and coat with parsley sauce. Cover dish with foil and let rest for 5 minutes. Slice steak thinly against grain and serve with sauce remaining in baking dish.
