Grilled Marinated Flank Steak with Chimichurri Sauce

We love grilled flank steak for dinner at least once a month, and this recipe does not disappoint as the Chimichurri sauce is delicious and almost .. well, made for this steak!

Chimichurri is a classic sauce from Argentina traditionally served with different types of grilled meat.

This sauce is spectacular in the summer months because all of the herbs are fresh and tasty and most of them you can grow right in  your kitchen!

To get the best possible flavor, prepare your Chimichurri sauce and marinate the flank steaks the night before. You’ll be glad you did!

Roasted Rosemary Potatoes to go with Flank Steak

Roasted Rosemary Potatoes

These colorful roasted potatoes pack a ton of flavor into every bite thanks to the winning combination of fresh rosemary paired with garlic and sautéed onions. What’s more, they really dress up your dinner plate – and they’re super easy to make!

Ingredients

1 lb. Fingerling potatoes, washed and cut in half
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
3 tablespoons fresh rosemary leaves, minced
3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon coconut oil
2 large white onion, cut into thin strips

Directions

Preheat oven to 425°.

Add potatoes to a large bowl, along with olive oil, rosemary leaves, and garlic. Toss to combine and season with salt and pepper, to taste.

Spread potatoes onto a large, rimmed baking sheet and arrange in a single layer without overcrowding. Place in the oven and roast for 15 minutes. Remove pan from oven and turn potatoes so they brown evenly. Return to oven and roast for another 10-15 minutes, or until potatoes are fork tender.

While the potatoes are roasting, melt coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add sliced onion and sauté, stirring occasionally, until they turn deep brown, approximately 10-15 minutes. Remove from heat and season with salt and pepper, to taste.

Remove from potatoes from oven and transfer to a large serving bowl. Add onions and toss to combine. Serve immediately.
