London Broil with Chimichurri Sauce

Ingredients

For the London broil:

For the chimichurri sauce:

  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 4-5 cloves garlic
  • 3 tablespoons white wine vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/2 cup fresh cilantro
  • 1 bunch flat-leaf parsley stems discarded
  • 1/4 cup fresh oregano leaves
  • 1/2 of a shallot

Instructions

For the Chimichurri Sauce

  • Combine oil, garlic, vinegar, salt, cumin, red pepper flakes, black pepper, cilantro, oregano, and parsley in a blender.
  • Pulse blender 2 to 3 times; scrape down the sides using a rubber spatula. Repeat pulsing and scraping process until a thick sauce forms, about a dozen times. Refrigerate until use. It gets better as it sits a couple hours.

For the London Broil

  • If you're using the marinade, marinate the London broil for a few hours or overnight. Discard the marinade and bring the meat to room temperature. Pat the meat with a paper towel to complete dry it off and then season with garlic salt and pepper to taste.
  • Heat a cast iron skillet over medium high heat until it is smoking hot. Don't add any butter or oil to it.
  • Cook the London broil for 7-12 minutes on each side. Closer to 7-8 if you want yours rarer (like mine) or closer to 10-12 minutes if you want yours more well done.
  • Once it's seared on both sides, remove from the skillet onto another plate. Let the London broil sit for 10-15 minutes before slicing. Slice thin and against the grain for best results. Serve with the chimichurri sauce.
