Flank Steak with Basil Chimichurri
I’m so excited to feature Shea Goldstein on Amee’s Savory Dish today with her mouthwatering Flank Steak with Basil Chimichurri recipe! She’s the witty and talented Southern gal behind Dixie Chik Cooks. Shea whips up some amazing dishes, like this Flank Steak with Basil Chimichurri that grabs the spotlight today. A few other temptations I can’t resist sharing from her blog, are her Pork Tacos with White Cheddar Poblano Pico and Lime Crema, this Hot Salsa Verde Bacon Dip (a definite party show-stopper!) and this mouthwatering French Onion Fontina Burger (OMG……on homemade pretzel buns…..are you kidding me?!!) Don’t stop there, be sure and grab yourself a cocktail and browse her site for a while, she’s full of fun southern hospitality. 🙂
I love everything about this lean beef dish. The color, the flavors and the ease of preparation, which is super important for this busy mama! I love the idea of using fresh basil for the chimichurri sauce, in lieu of parsley. I’ve got a boatload of basil in my garden right now and I’m loving this new way to use it. Grab your apron, a glass of wine (or your cooking cocktail of choice) and fire-up the grill….you’re gonna love this one!
Flank Steak with Basil Chimichurri
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 lbs. Flank steak I cut mine into quarters

- 1 tbsp garlic minced
- 2 tbsp lime juice
- 1 tsp red pepper flakes

- Put the rest of ingredients in a food processor and pulse until smooth; refrigerate until the steaks are ready.
- Rinse the steaks thoroughly, and pat dry.
- Heat a generous drizzle of olive oil over high heat in a cast iron skillet and add steaks. Splash with Moore's.
