Step 1
In a large bowl combine all of the marinade ingredients. Marinate the steak in an airtight container for one hour or up to overnight.
Step 2
For the chimichurri – In a wide mouth Mason jar (or a blender) combine all of the ingredients for the chimichurri and pulse until roughly combined. Place in an airtight container and let it sit in the fridge until ready. This is one of those sauces that get better with time.
Step 3
Grill the steak on medium-high heat, four minutes on each side. Remove the steak and let it sit for 10 minutes. In the meantime, sauté the white onion, green onion, and peppers for 10 minutes on medium-high heat. Remove from the stove and prepare the rice according to packaging instructions. Layer all of the ingredients in a bowl and drizzle the chimichurri sauce over the steak. Enjoy!
