Ingredients
1 cup mojo criollo marinade
2 teaspoons dried oregano, divided
1 teaspoon fresh lime zest
1 teaspoon fresh orange zest
2 pounds flank steak, cut crosswise into 6 equal-sized pieces
3 garlic cloves
2 green onions, chopped
1 cup loosely packed fresh parsley sprigs
1/2 cup loosely packed fresh cilantro sprigs
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/3 cup olive oil
Directions
- In small bowl, whisk marinade, 1 teaspoon oregano, lime zest and orange zest. Place steaks in large zip-top plastic bag; pour marinade mixture over steak. Seal bag, pressing out excess air; massage steak in bag to coat. Refrigerate steak at least 4 or up to 10 hours.
- In food processor with knife blade attached or blender, purée garlic, onions, parsley, cilantro, vinegar, lime juice, salt and remaining 1 teaspoon oregano; with processor running, slowly pouroil through feed tube and purée until emulsified. Makes about 1 cup chimichurri.
- Prepare outdoor grill for direct grilling over high heat. Remove steaks from marinade; discard marinade. Place steaks on hot grill rack; cover and cook 8 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 135° for medium-rare, turning once. Transfer steaks to cutting board; tent with foil and let stand 5 minutes. (Internal temperature will rise to 145° upon standing.)
- Slice steaks against the grain; serve with chimichurri.
