Steps:

• Prepare the steak: Set the steaks on a cutting board and slice them in half crosswise. Using your knife, round out the clean-cut edges so the sides look softer. Use paper towels to pat the steaks dry, then season all over with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Set aside 15 to 30 minutes to bring to room temperature.
• Meanwhile, make the chimichurri sauce: Place the cilantro, parsley, onion, lemon juice, vinegar, garlic, red pepper flakes, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in the bowl of a food processor and pulse until roughly chopped. Slowly pour in the olive oil and process until the chimichurri is semi-smooth, about 4 seconds. Transfer to a small bowl and set aside.
• Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Brush both sides of each steak with the vegetable oil, then cook, undisturbed, until marked, 3 to 5 minutes. Flip and cook until a thermometer registers 125 degrees F for medium rare, 3 to 5 more minutes. Transfer to plates and let rest 5 minutes. Serve with the chimichurri sauce.

Steps:

• Preheat the grill to high. Brush the grill with a wire grill brush to remove any soot and fat on the grill grates. Wipe the grill grate with an oiled cloth to remove any bits of crud that were loosened by brushing.
• Remove the steaks from the refrigerator and let them come to room temperature. Season the steaks generously with salt and let sit for at least 15 minutes.
• Arrange the steaks on the hottest part of the grill until beautiful brown grill marks form, then rotate the steaks 90 degrees to create the crosshatch marks.
• Turn the steaks over and repeat the process. Once the grill marks have formed on the second side, move the steaks to a cooler part of the grill and let cook to the desired doneness. Cook about 5 to 6 minutes on each side for medium-rare.

Steps:

• Combine the garlic, jalapeno and vinegar in a bowl. Stir in the parsley, oregano, and lime juice. Whisk in the olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Mix well and set aside at room temperature to allow the flavors to marry.
• Marinate the steak in olive oil for 30 minutes, turning to coat both sides.
• Preheat an outdoor charcoal grill or oven broiler to high. Remove the steak from the oil and season both sides with a generous amount of salt and pepper; you should see the seasoning on the meat. Grill the steaks on the hottest part of the barbecue for 4 minutes per side, until well charred. Transfer the steak to a cutting board and let stand for 5 minutes. Cut the steak across the grain on the diagonal and fan the slices out on a platter. Spoon some chimichurri over the meat and serve with the remaining sauce at the table.
