Ingredients
1.5 lb trimmed flank steak
1 teaspoons kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped
1/2 teaspoon chopped shallot
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
1/4 cup dry red wine
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Chimichurri sauce
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 large garlic clove
1 1/2 cups fresh cilantro
1 1/2 cups fresh flat-leaf parsley
1/4 cup distilled white vinegar
1/3 cup olive oil
1/4 teaspoon cayenne

Method
Preheat broiler, gas or charcoal grill.

Pat steak dry.

Stir together salt, shallots, thyme, wine, vinegar, oil, and pepper in a small bowl and rub mixture onto both sides of steak.

Marinate 4-24 hours. Broil steak on a broiler pan about 4 inches from heat or grill 6 minutes per side for medium-rare. Transfer to a cutting board and let stand 5 minutes.

Chimichurri sauce
Meanwhile, with motor running, add garlic to a food processor and finely chop. Add cilantro, parsley, vinegar, oil, cayenne, and salt, then pulse until herbs are finely chopped.

Holding a knife at a 45-degree angle, thinly slice steak. Serve with sauce.
