Steak and Potatoes with 5 Minute Chimichurri Sauce

Melt-in-your-mouth perfectly cooked steak, the crispiest potatoes and the quickest chimichurri sauce!

Ingredients
  • 1 ½ pounds flank steak
  • 2 pounds baby Yukon gold potatoes, cut in half
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • For the chimichurri sauce
  • ¾ cup packed fresh parsley leaves
  • ½ cup packed fresh cilantro leaves
  • 2 tablespoons packed fresh oregano leaves
  • 1 small shallot, chopped
  • ½ fresno chili, seeds removed and chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, peeled
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • ½ cup olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
Directions
  1. To make the chimichurri sauce, combine parsley, cilantro, oregano, shallot, chili and garlic in the bowl of a food processor; season with salt and pepper, to taste. With the motor running, add olive oil and red wine vinegar in a slow stream until emulsified; set aside 1/2 cup of the mixture in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
  2. In a gallon size Ziploc bag or large bowl, combine steak and remaining parsley mixture; marinate for at least 4 hours to overnight, turning the bag occasionally. Drain the steak from the marinade.
  3. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  4. In a large bowl, combine potatoes and olive oil; season with salt and pepper, to taste.
  5. Place potatoes in a single layer onto the prepared baking sheet.
  6. Place into oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, until golden brown and crisp, stirring and rotating pan halfway through baking.
  7. Preheat grill to medium high heat. Using paper towels, pat both sides of the steak dry; season with salt and pepper, to taste.
  8. Add steak to grill, and cook, flipping once, until desired doneness, about 6 minutes per side for medium rare. Let rest 5 minutes.
  9. Thinly slice steak against the grain and serve with reserved 1/2 cup parsley mixture and potatoes.
