Chimichurri Sauce
- 1 cup (packed) of coarsely chopped flat leaf parsley (about 1 large bunch)
- 4 cloves of garlic, minced or put through a press

Cooking Instructions
In a blender or food processor, combine the marinade ingredients and puree into a coarse paste. Spread marinade over the steak and marinate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Preheat grill to high heat. Season meat generously with salt and pepper. Grill over direct heat for 3-4 minutes to sear on first side and flip over and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes to medium-rare (135° internal temperature), longer if you’d like it cooked more. Rest steak for 5 minutes before slicing.
For the chimichurri sauce, combine all ingredients in a blender or food processor and pulse until well combined but not pureed. Allow to sit for 15 minutes before serving.
Serve sliced steak on a piece of baguette with a generous serving of chimichurri on top.
