1 Food Prep
Mix together your flank steak seasoning ingredients in a bowl. Rub oil on both sides of your flank steak and then evenly sprinkle your seasoning mixture on both sides.
- Place your flank steak, uncovered, in the refrigerator for 1 hour. This will help your dry brine to fully permeate your steak, enhancing your flavors.
- Before grilling, remove your flank steak from the refrigerator and let it stand at room temperature for about 20 minutes.
- Finally, combine all of your chimichurri ingredients together in a mixing bowl, and mix until well combined. Refrigerate your chimichurri until ready to serve.
2 Grill Prep
- Fuel: We recommend Kingsford® Professional Charcoal Briquets for their high heat, low ash performance.*n
*Compared to Kingsford® Original Charcoal - Method: Direct-Heat Grilling
- Temp: 500°F (High Heat)
Carefully hold your hand about 5” to 6” above the grate, and refer to the temperature settings below:
• High Heat (450° to 550°F):
2 to 4 seconds
• Medium Heat (350° to 450°F):
5 to 6 seconds
• Low Heat (250° to 350°F):
8 to 10 seconds
Make sure your clothing doesn’t touch the grate, and always move your hand away from the heat before you feel discomfort.
When you’re at temp, put cooking oil on a folded paper towel. Grab the oiled paper towel with long-handled tongs and oil the grate thoroughly.

3 The Cook
When you’re at temp, put cooking oil on a folded paper towel. Grab the oiled paper towel with long-handled tongs and oil the grate thoroughly.
Place your flank steak on the grill and cook for about 5 minutes on each side, or until it reaches your desired doneness.
Then, remove your flank steak from the grill and place it into a pan. Cover it and let it rest for at least 7 minutes before slicing. Serve your flank steaks sliced, against the grain, with chimichurri on the side or drizzled on top.
** Cooking times are approximate and based on a 1” steak, including sear time.
