Flank Steak with Chimichurri Sauce

Our delicious, USDA Choice Natural Flank Steak pairs marvelously with a freshly made Chimichurri sauce, a traditional Argentine condiment made of extra virgin olive oil, herbs and spices. Serve thinly sliced pieces of steak with a drizzle of chimichurri and a grilled slice of bread for a simple, savory dinner.

1 1/2 lb trimmed Bristol Quality flank steak
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
