    Let me tell you... It's also versatile. It's fabulous as a main entree with the steak topped with the chimi and a side dish. Perfection. But you know what? It's also amazing in a wrap. Or how about trying it in a panini? Yes! About nine times out of a ten this time, I enjoyed it in a wrap. It makes the perfect lunch. While you're at it, check out this Crockpot shredded beef that would also make a great lunch or dinner!

    I'm telling you. It's a breeze to make too. Make sure you do buy the flat iron cut of beef and then grill it to about medium rare. That's how you get that mouthwatering, melt-in-your-mouth texture.

    Let me say a few words about the chimichurri here. Yum, yum, yum, oh and, yum. This stuff is super easy to make, but boy does it pack a mighty flavor punch! True confession: I don't dig spicy food, which is practically a sacrilege here in the American Southwest. However, I love the kick that this sauce provides. Just enough heat. And if you like it hotter, then by all means, spice it up! It's your sauce. You're the cook. Make it yours!

    You're going to love this!
