Prepare chimichurri sauce by combining parsley, garlic, olive oil, red pepper flakes, lime juice, and salt in a bowl.

Season the steak with salt and black pepper on both sides.

Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat until hot.

Cook the steak for 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness.

Remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.

Toast the ciabatta bread on the grill until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes.

Slice the steak against the grain into thin strips.

Spread a layer of chimichurri sauce on the bottom half of the toasted ciabatta.

Layer the sliced steak on top of the chimichurri sauce.

Add slices of chorizo, avocado, lettuce, tomato, onion, and cheese on top of the steak.

Drizzle additional chimichurri sauce over the toppings.

Close the sandwich with the top half of the ciabatta and press gently to compress.

Serve immediately, cut in half if desired.
