Grilled Flat-Iron Steaks with Chimichurri

Instructions

1. Trim fat from steaks. Place steaks on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or plastic wrap.
2. In a small bowl, combine 1 teaspoon salt, garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon cumin, chili powder, black pepper and cayenne. Sprinkle mixture evenly over both sides of each steak; rub in with your fingers. Cover with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
3. For chimichurri, in a food processor or blender, combine cilantro, parsley, vinegar, garlic, the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon cumin and the crushed red pepper. With the processor or blender running, slowly add oil through the opening in the lid in a thin, steady stream until mixture is smooth. Set aside.
4. Grill steaks on the rack of an uncovered charcoal grill directly over medium coals for 7 to 9 minutes for medium-rare (145°F) or 10 to 12 minutes for medium (160°F), turning once halfway through grilling. (For a gas grill, preheat grill. Reduce heat to medium. Place steaks on grill rack over heat. Cover and grill as above.) Serve steaks with chimichurri.
