Flank Steak with Chimichurri Sauce

November 3, 2011

I am a steak and potato girl.

Seriously, it is my favorite dish of all time. Luckily for me, Shaun doesn’t mind at all.

A while back I was a Weight Watchers member. So, I have several cookbooks and magazines with healthy recipes and tips. I was flipping thru one of my books and found this recipe for flank steak with the chimichurri sauce. As I see it tonight I won two different ways with dinner: 1)It was healthy 2)It was steak. I served the steak with couscous and fresh green beans.

ENJOY!!
