  • Total Time: 35
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

1.5 pounds flank steak
1 cup fresh parsley, chopped
1/4 cup fresh oregano, chopped
4 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar (for non-alcoholic substitution)
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
1 red onion, sliced
2 cups baby spinach

Instructions

1. In a food processor, blend parsley, oregano, garlic, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, smoked paprika, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper until smooth. Set chimichurri aside.
2. Pat flank steak dry. Season generously with salt and pepper.
3. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat, add oil, and sear steak 4 minutes per side for medium-rare. Let rest 10 minutes, then slice against the grain.
4. Toss cherry tomatoes and red onion in a pan until caramelized (5 minutes). Blanch baby spinach in boiling water 30 seconds, then drain.
5. Plate steak with chimichurri, roasted veggies, and spinach. Serve immediately.

Notes

Chimichurri can be prepared 1 day ahead.
Substitute steak with skirt or sirloin.
For vegan alternative, replace steak with firm tofu or tempeh.
