Recipe Summary

• Prep Time: 20 minutes
• Cook Time: 20 minutes
• Total Time: 40 minutes
• Servings: 4
• Skill Level: Intermediate

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 pounds flank steak
• 2 red bell peppers, sliced
• 2 yellow bell peppers, sliced
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/2 cup red wine vinegar
• 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
• 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, toss the bell peppers with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them out evenly on one half of the prepared baking sheet.
3. Rub the flank steak with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil, then season generously with salt and pepper. Place it on the other half of the baking sheet.
4. Roast in the oven for 20 minutes, flipping the steak halfway through, until the steak reaches your desired level of doneness (medium-rare is recommended at 135°F/57°C internal temperature).
5. While the steak and peppers roast, prepare the chimichurri sauce. In a medium bowl, combine parsley, garlic, red wine vinegar, red pepper flakes, and a pinch of salt. Gradually whisk in the extra-virgin olive oil until well blended.
6. Once done, allow the steak to rest for 5 minutes before slicing it against the grain into thin strips.
7. Serve the sliced steak topped with chimichurri sauce, accompanied by the roasted bell peppers.

Helpful Tips

• For a milder chimichurri, reduce the amount of garlic and omit the red pepper flakes.
• You can substitute flank steak with skirt steak or sirloin for different texture and flavor profiles.

Storage Instructions

Store any leftover steak and vegetables in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The chimichurri sauce can be refrigerated for up to a week; bring it to room temperature before serving for the best flavor.

Pairings

This chimichurri steak and peppers dish pairs beautifully with a fresh green salad and crusty bread to soak up the flavorful sauce. For drinks, a chilled lemonade or a crisp iced tea complements the meal perfectly.
