Grilled Flank Steak with Chimichurri Bean Salad
  1. 1

    In a large resealable plastic bag, mix chili powder, onion powder, garlic, oregano, salt, lemon juice, wine vinegar, and olive oil. Add steak, press out any excess air, and seal the bag. Refrigerate the steak to marinate overnight.

  2. 2

    Remove the steak from the bag and discard the marinade. Preheat an outdoor grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Grill the steak, without moving it, until browned and it releases easily from the pan, 4 to 5 minutes. Flip the steak and cook another 4 to 5 minutes for medium-rare to medium, or to your preferred doneness. Transfer the steak to a cutting board and let rest for 10 minutes.

  3. 3

    Meanwhile, for the salad, combine parsley, cilantro, onion, roasted peppers, garbanzo beans, pinto beans, and cheese in a large bowl.

  4. 4

    For the dressing, whisk garlic, crushed red pepper, oregano, wine vinegar, lemon juice, olive oil, and salt in a separate bowl until well combined. Pour the dressing over the bean mixture and toss thoroughly.

  5. 5

    Cut the steak into bite-sized pieces; add it to the bean salad along with any accumulated juices. Toss well to coat and serve right away or refrigerate until serving.

How easyChef Pro Scores This Recipe

easyChef Pro gives every recipe a health score from 0 to 100, built from more than 30 nutritional parameters including nutrient density, energy density and glycemic impact. It calculates rather than estimates, so the same recipe returns the same score every time.

The number is traceable. You can see exactly which nutrient moved it, so a dish scoring 78 might show fiber pushing it up while sodium pulls it down, alongside the NOVA processing level of each ingredient.

Your health goal changes the calculation itself, not just a filter. easyChef Pro applies clinically derived weighting across six health dimensions, which is why the same dish can score well for one goal and poorly for another.

Swap an ingredient or change the serving size and that math changes with it. Scoring your own version is the only way to see what your kitchen actually produces.
