Chef Akhtar has perfected his flank steak on the grill, and the secret is a zesty, garlicky mojo de ajo marinade that really makes the dish. A classic cilantro chimichurri sauce is the perfect pairing for this double portion of steak that will make busy days that much easier.
steak was a little tough, even with oven reheating; could use smaller portion size paired with green beans or something like that. Flavor was good though

Steak was very tough and stringy. The sauce had good flavor, but that didn't help much when it felt like I was gnawing on jerky from how tough it was.
