- For the chimichurri, mix all ingredients together. (Note: this tastes best when you chop everything by hand rather than in a food processor)
- Prepare the grill on high heat. Grill the steaks to desired doneness, about 3 to 4 minutes per side for medium-rare, turning steaks 1/4 turn after 1 1/2 minutes to form crisscross grill marks, if desired.
- Transfer steaks to cutting board; let rest 5 minutes. Thinly slice steaks across grain.

Notes
*For more authentic chimichurri omit the onion and add 2 more garlic cloves.
Here’s my original less authentic version I previously used, both taste delish but since so many of you asked for it, here it is:
