    1. Chop vegetables and then place everything in a blender and pulse until all blended together. 
    2. 2-8 hours before cooking steak, cut steak in half and place in a dish. Pour half the chimichurri over top to marinate and cover.
    3. Grill steak to desired temperature. 
    4. Pour rest of chimichurri over steak when cooking is done. 
    5. *This also makes a great salad with grilled red peppers, tomato and avocado. Chimichurri is the dressing.
