- ½ tsp black pepper
- ½ tsp red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine minced garlic, chopped parsley, olive oil, red wine vinegar, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Mix well.
- Place the flank steak in a resealable bag or shallow dish and pour half of the chimichurri marinade over it. Seal or cover and let it marinate in the fridge for at least 1 hour (up to overnight).
