A perfectly grilled steak gets added flavor from a simple chimichurri sauce. The sauce contains arsley, cilantro, garlic, water, vinegar, oil, crushed red pepper, and salt that's chopped in a food processor. We used 1/4 teaspoon of crushed red pepper flakes which give the sauce a slight kick. If you prefer to turn up the heat, you can add a little more pepper flakes. Chimichurri makes a great companion to all cuts of beef. London broil is the term for any thick, lean boneless steak, good for broiling or grilling.Top sirloin steak is also a good choice.

Sprinkle the steak with the remaining 1⁄4 teaspoon salt and place the steak on the grill rack. Grill, covered, until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center of the steak registers 145°F for medium, about 6 minutes on each side. Transfer the steak to a cutting board and let stand about 10 minutes. Thinly slice the steak across the grain; arrange on a platter. Serve with the sauce. Yields about 3 slices steak and 1 1⁄2 tablespoons sauce per serving.
