Combine the chopped herbs and onion in a bowl with red wine vinegar, olive oil, lemon juice, and red chili flakes.

Season the chimichurri with salt, black pepper, and cumin to taste; mix well and set aside.

Heat a grill to high temperature until it reaches about 450°F (232°C).

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

Place the steak on the hot grill and cook for 4-5 minutes on one side until a crust forms.

Flip the steak and grill for an additional 4-5 minutes for medium-rare, adjusting time for desired doneness.

Remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Serve the sliced steak drizzled with the hot and spicy chimichurri sauce.
