Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by using a fork to puncture the flank steak, allowing the marinade to penetrate deeply for optimal flavor.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, olive oil, Worcestershire sauce, honey, minced garlic, lemon juice, lemon zest, oregano, and red pepper flakes.
  3. Place the steak in the marinade, ensuring it's completely covered and refrigerate for 2 to 24 hours, flipping halfway if needed.
  4. While the steak marinates, prepare the chimichurri by mixing together basil, cilantro, minced garlic, olive oil, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, Fresno chile, and salt in a bowl.
  5. Let chimichurri sit for at least 15 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
  6. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and grill the marinated flank steak for about 12 minutes, rotating halfway through cooking.
  7. Remove the steak and rest for 10 minutes, then slice against the grain into thin strips.
  8. Serve by drizzling chimichurri over the sliced steak.
