Chimichurri Steak

An Argentinian preparation of steak with an herb vinaigrette.

1.5 lbs of flank steak
1 C olive oil
1/3 C sherry vinegar
2 T lemon juice
1 C Italian parsley leaves
1 t dried oregano
dash crushed red pepper
1/2 t black pepper
3 T garlic
2 T shallot
2 1/2 t salt

Mix together everything but the beef and run it through a food processor.  Measure out a cup of the sauce and reserve, put the rest of it into a container to marinate the beef.

Slice the beef across the grain into 1/4 inch slices and toss in the sauce.  Marinate for 2-4 hours. 

Heat a skillet with a little vegetable oil in it until smoking hot, then cook the beef in batches.  You want to get some sear on the beef while leaving the inside pink; serve with the reserved sauce.
