Description

Tender strips of seared flank steak and sautéed peppers topped with a bright, zesty Argentinian-style chimichurri sauce.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs flank steak, sliced into thin strips against the grain
  • 2 bell peppers (any color), sliced
  • 1 red onion, sliced
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley, finely minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh oregano, finely minced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • 1/4 cup olive oil (for sauce)
  • Salt and pepper to taste (for sauce)
  • 8 small flour or corn tortillas

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, combine minced parsley, oregano, garlic, red wine vinegar, 1/4 cup olive oil, salt, and pepper. Stir well and let the sauce sit for 15 minutes.
  2. Toss the steak strips with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
  3. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat. Add sliced peppers and onions, sautéing until charred and tender (about 5 minutes). Remove from pan and set aside.
  4. Increase heat to high. Add the seasoned steak strips in a single layer. Sear without moving for 2-3 minutes, then flip and sear for another 2 minutes until browned.
  5. Return the sautéed vegetables to the pan with the steak and toss for 1 minute to combine.
  6. Remove from heat and let the meat rest on a platter for 3 minutes.
  7. Warm tortillas in a pan or microwave. Serve the steak and peppers in the tortillas and drizzle generously with the fresh chimichurri.
