Ingredients

  1. Deselect All
  2. 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
  3. 2 tablespoons sugar
  4. Kosher salt
  5. 1 red onion, thinly sliced
  6. 1 bunch cilantro, roughly chopped
  7. 1 pound flank steak, trimmed
  8. 1 clove garlic
  9. 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  10. Juice of 1/2 lemon
  11. 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  12. 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for brushing
  13. Freshly ground pepper

Instructions

  1. Make the pickled red onion: Combine the cider vinegar, sugar and 1 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl and whisk to dissolve. Add the red onion and 2 tablespoons cilantro and stir to combine. Cover and set aside at room temperature, 1 hour.
  2. Meanwhile, soak 20 wooden skewers in warm water, at least 20 minutes. Slice the flank steak against the grain into 20 strips, about 1/8 inch thick. Thread the meat accordion-style onto the skewers and set aside until ready to grill.
  3. Combine the remaining cilantro, the garlic, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, red pepper flakes, 1/2 teaspoon salt and the olive oil in a blender and puree until smooth; transfer to a small bowl.
  4. Heat a grill or grill pan to medium high. Season the steak with salt and pepper. Brush the grill with olive oil, then grill the skewers until marked, about 1 minute per side. Serve with the chimichurri and pickled onion.

Tried these for Cinco de Mayo, and they were delicious! The beef was tender, and the chimichurri had a nice kick. Everyone loved them.
