       Ingredients:                                                      Ingredients:

                     1 handful of parsley                                      1 can Chipotle peppers in adobo

    2 cloves of garlic                                                      2 Tbsp Honey

1/2 tsp dried oregano                                                      2 tsp Cumin

           2 tbsp cider vinegar                                                 Few slices white onion

     1 tbsp lemon juice                                                          Pinch of Sale

Pinch of crushed red pepper flakes                                    Pinch of Pepper

                               3 Tbsp olive oil                                            

I bought a huge flank steak at the store so I decided to make two different sauces. First, season the Flank steak with salt and pepper on both sides. 

For the chimichurri sauce, combine all the ingredients in a food processor. Coat the steak with the mixture and marinade for at least 1 hour. 

For the Adobo sauce, combine the adobo sauce, honey and cumin in a small bowl. The chipotle peppers are HOT HOT HOT. I chopped one and added it to the mixture - it turned out fiery!.  If you can't tolerate the heat use 1/2 pepper or none at all.  Coat the steak with the mixture and marinade at at least 1 hour. Top the steak with the sliced onions. 

After the steak has marinated, pop it under the broiler for about 3-4 minutes on each side. My flank steak was about 1 inch thick. You may need to adjust cook time depending on the thickness and how well you like it cooked.  After you remove the steak from the oven let it sit for about 5 minutes before cutting so the juices don't all run out!

***Leftovers make great steak sandwiches!
