Directions
-
Begin preparing Steak: Score both sides of meat in a diamond pattern by making shallow diagonal cuts at 1-inch intervals. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Let stand 5 minutes.
-
Prepare Chimichurri Sauce by combining fresh Italian parsley, cilantro, lime juice, red wine vinegar, olive oil, water, minced garlic, salt and crushed red pepper in a blender or food processor. Cover and pulse until nearly smooth but still slightly chunky. Set aside.
-
Grill meat, covered, over medium 13 to 18 minutes or until meat reaches desired doneness (145 degrees F for medium-rare or 160 degrees F for medium), turning once and brushing with 2 tablespoons of the Chimichurri Sauce during last 5 minutes.
-
Prepare the Chimichurri Salad: In a large bowl combine arugula, bread, tomatoes, onion and the remaining Chimichurri Sauce; toss gently to coat.
-
Thinly slice meat across the grain. Divide arugula mixture among plates and top with meat.
Tips
Tip: To toast bread cubes, preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spread bread in a 15x10-inch baking pan. Bake 10 minutes or until golden, stirring once.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.
* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
