    • 1 tbsp olive oil
    • 1 tsp salt
    • 1/2 tsp black pepper
    • 1/2 tsp garlic powder

Instructions

  1. Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
  2. Pat steak dry and rub with olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
  3. Grill steak for 4–6 minutes per side, depending on thickness and desired doneness.
  4. While steak cooks, combine parsley, oregano, garlic, olive oil, red wine vinegar, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper in a bowl to make chimichurri.
