directions

Step 1

Preheat the broiler and coat a broil pan with cooking spray.

Step 2

Combine the salt, coriander, cumin and pepper, and sprinkle the mixture evenly over both sides of the steak. Place the steak on the prepared pan and grill for 4 minutes per side.

Step 3

Transfer steak to a cutting board and allow meat to rest 5 minutes. Cut against the grain of the meat into 1/4-inch wide strips to breakdown the fibres for maximum tenderness.

Step 4

Serve with chimichurri spooned over top and along a side of fresh greens and sliced cherry tomatoes.

Step 5

Place the basil, parsley, cilantro, garlic, lime juice, vinegar, anchovy paste, salt and pepper in a blender. Process the mix, shaking the blender if necessary, until the herbs are broken down. Now slowly add your olive oil as you finish processing until smooth. Pour into a serving bowl.
