INSTRUCTIONS
Asian Chimichurri: Pulse the cilantro, basil, mint, garlic, ginger, green onions, and jalapeno (without seeds) in food processor until coarsely chopped, pushing sides down as needed. Add olive oil, rice wine vinegar, fish sauce, toasted sesame oil and salt and pepper and continue to pulse until finely chopped and well combined. Taste and add desired amount of jalapeno seeds for additional heat (optional). Remove 2 tablespoons Chimichurri to a large resealable plastic bag. Refrigerate the remainder separately.
Asian Marinade: To the Chimichurri in the plastic bag, whisk in all of the Asian Steak Marinade ingredients. Pierce steak all over with a fork and add to marinade. Massage marinade into steak and seal bag. Refrigerate 5 hours up to overnight, turning bag occasionally.
Grill: When ready to grill, remove Chimichurri and steak from refrigerator to bring to room temperature (about 30-45 minutes). Grease and preheat grill to 400 degrees F. Sear roast for 3-5 minutes per side, cover, and turn heat down to 350 degrees F. Grill for 15 minutes, flip, cover, and cook an additional 10-20 minutes, depending on the size of your steak cut and how well done you want your steak. Watch closely that your temperature stays around 350 degrees
