Directions
Add the parsley, cilantro, oregano, shallot, garlic, red pepper flakes, red wine vinegar, salt, and pepper to the bowl of a food processor. Process until finely minced (or until your desired consistency is met).
Add the tahini and pulse until incorporated.
Transfer the mixture to a small bowl and pour the extra-virgin olive oil over the mixture. Gently mix to combine.
In a food storage container, cover the flank steak with 1⁄2 of the Tahini Chimichurri, coating the entire surface. Place in the fridge to marinade for at least 2 hours. Set the remaining 1⁄2 of the Tahini Chimichurri aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, honey, garlic, salt, and pepper to make the salad dressing. Set aside.
Over high heat, grill the corn, turning occasionally until charred all over. About 6- 10 minutes. Let cool. Using a sharp knife, remove the corn from the cob.
Once the corn is finished, turn the grill to medium/ high heat. Remove the steak from the fridge and season each side with salt and pepper.
Place the steak on the grill and grill for 6-8 minutes on each side, depending on your preference for medium/medium rare, or rare. Once cooked, place on a cutting board and let rest for 10 minutes. Slice in thin strips, against the grain.
Assemble the salad ingredients and dressing. Top with steak and additional Tahini Chimichurri. Enjoy!
Recipe Note
Notes: The chimichurri sauce can be made 24 hours in advance. Store in an air-tight container for 2-3 days at most.
