Ingredients

  • 1 cup freshly chopped flat-leaf parsley leaves cilantro can be substituted
  • 12 basil leaves finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon freshly chopped oregano or 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 4 large garlic cloves finely chopped (about 2 tablespoons)
  • 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/3 cup red wine sherry or champagne vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • juice of 1 lemon
  • pinch of crushed red pepper flakes
  • pinch of cumin
  • 1 11/2-2 pound flat-iron or hanger steak, butterflied open

Instructions

  • Combine the marinade ingredients in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the metal blade, and process until the greens are chopped and the ingredients are well combined. Place the steaks with the marinade in a large resealable bag, seal and refrigerate for 2 to 3 hours.
  • Light the grill, or preheat your broiler or stovetop grill pan. Let the steaks come to room temp and dry them off. When searing hot, quickly grill the steaks, about 5 to 7 minutes per side.  Let the meat rest, covered loosely with foil before slicing.
