Post by Chowhound »

1 Flat Iron steak
1 cup flat leaf parsley, roughly chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp capers
5 anchovies
1/4 cup oregano (fresh)
1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, roughly chopped
1 lemon, zest & juice
3/4 cup good quality extra virgin olive oil
2 tbsp white wine vinegar
1 tsp pepper
salt to taste

For the steak: load up a charcoal grill with coals stacked mainly to one side. Pat steak dry with paper towel, and season well on both sides with salt. Once the coals have ashed over and the grill has really heated up, place the steak over direct coals, flipping it every minute or two, until a crust has built. Once you have a reasonable color, transfer steak to the cool side of the grill without coals to finish cooking with indirect heat, until it reaches an internal temperature of 130f. Remove and wrap loosely in foil to rest at least 10 minutes. For the green sauce: in a small skillet or pan, brown the minced garlic until well toasted to remove any sharp flavor. In a food processor, combine parsley, oregano, mint, capers, anchovy, lemon zest and juice, browned garlic, salt and pepper. Pulse to combine thoroughly. Once at a fine consistency, slowly add oil and vinegar. To serve: remove steak from foil, and slice against the grain in 1/4 inch slices. Arrange on plate and drizzle with the green sauce, and serve with a bowl of extra suce on the side.
