flank (skirt) steak – 1 pound
olive oil – 1 tablespoons

olive oil – 3/4 cup
salt and pepper – to taste

Instructions:
Step 1: Marinate the flank steak. Place you steak, olive oil, tamari (soy) sauce, garlic and pepper in a container and marinate for at least one hour or best overnight (Do not add salt to marinade but instead hold off and add this during the grilling of the steak as adding it while it is marinating will dry out the meat)

Step 2: Take your steak out of the refrigerator to come to room temperature, about a half hour before you are ready to grill your steak.

Step 3: Make your Thai Style Chimichurri sauce. In your food processor, add garlic, lemongrass, chile, Thai basil, cilantro (coriander roots and all), lime juice, olive oil and salt and pepper to taste. Blend until smooth, adjust seasoning as desired.

Step 4 : Grill flank steaks. Grill flank steaks until medium rare or about 6 minutes per side. Salt and pepper steaks during the grilling process on each side and also slather steaks with some of the Thai Style chimichurri sauce. Reserve half of the Thai Style chimichurri for serving on the side and dipping the steak. Let your flank steak rest covered for about 5 minutes. Slice against the grain thin.

Step 5: Serve slices of Grilled Flank Steak with Thai Style Chimichurri sauce on the side for dipping. Enjoy!
