Let the steak rest, covered, after grilling for optimal tenderness and moisture.

Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes in the chimichurri to your preferred spice level.

For a smoky flavor, add a few drops of liquid smoke to the steak before grilling.

Make sure your grill is hot to get the best sear.

Do not overcook the steak, chimichurri is best when fresh.
