Ingredients

Steak

1 1/2 cups Italian dressing
1 beef flank steak (1 1/2 lb)

Chimichurri Sauce

1/3 cup olive or canola oil
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
2 teaspoons fresh lime juice
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh parsley
3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon chicken bouillon granules
1/2 teaspoon cracked black pepper
3 black peppercorns

Directions

1

Pour dressing into shallow glass or plastic dish or resealable food-storage plastic bag. Add beef, turning to coat. Cover dish or seal bag; refrigerate, turning beef occasionally, at least 4 hours but no longer than 24 hours to marinate.
2

In small nonmetal bowl, mix sauce ingredients until blended. Cover; refrigerate at least 4 hours, or until serving time.
3

Heat oven to 350°F. Heat 12-inch ovenproof grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Remove beef from dressing; discard dressing. Add beef to grill pan; cook 4 to 6 minutes, turning once, until browned. Place grill pan in oven. Bake 12 to 15 minutes or until beef is of desired doneness.
4

To serve, cut steak across grain into thin slices. Serve with sauce.
