Prepare the chimichurri sauce by combining olive oil, red wine vinegar, chopped fresh parsley, minced garlic, red pepper flakes, oregano, salt, and black pepper in a bowl.

Mix the chimichurri sauce well and let it sit for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Preheat the grill to high heat.

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

Place the steak on the grill and cook for 5-7 minutes on one side until a crust forms.

Flip the steak and cook for another 5-7 minutes for medium-rare, or until desired doneness.

Remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for 5-10 minutes to retain juices.

Slice the steak against the grain for tenderness.

Serve the grilled steak with chimichurri sauce drizzled on top or on the side.
