This recipe was fantastic. The garlic rubbed steak with the light and citrusy chimichurri sauce was absolutely delicious! And, super easy. I served it with Goya yellow rice and black beans. Easiest meal I have made in a long time and truly fantastic. I will definitely be making this again! I also want to add that you can use the rub on any cut of meat... if flank is not your style. Enjoy!10/14/09
