Chimichurri is quickly becoming one of my favorite ways to add flavor to a dish. In fact the other day I made a bruschetta with a chimichurri base, it was incredible! That is coming soon too! But for today, let’s focus on this Grilled Flank Steak with Avocado Chimichurri!

Super simple to make, gluten free, and fits into the paleo diet! Best part is it packs a huge punch of flavor!

The Grilled Flank Steak I kept nice and simple, just salt and pepper to season. The flavor comes from the chimichurri! It is packed with fresh herbs, lime juice, tangy vinegar, and some heat from the red pepper flakes. Then I mixed this chimichurri base with creamy avocado and whoazer! It totally puts this dish over the top. We had family over the night I made this and it was gone in seconds! Next time I will double this recipe for sure!

Can’t wait to hear what ya’ll think of this meal. Did I mention its done in less than 20 minutes! Yippee!

Bon Appetite!
