- When ready to prepare, preheat grill to medium heat. Grill steak for 7-9 minutes per side, turning once until a meat thermometer reads 140-145.

- While steak is resting, prepare the chimichurri sauce, by pulsing parsley, olive oil, red wine vinegar, garlic, crushed red pepper, cumin, salt, and 1 cup cilantro through a food processor until slightly smooth.
