Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound beef steak
- 2 medium zucchini
- 4 pieces ciabatta bread
- 1 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup fresh cilantro, finely chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, minced

- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 1 whole lemon, juiced
- 1 teaspoon salt

- 2 cups fresh arugula
Instructions
- Preheat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat.
- In a bowl, combine parsley, cilantro, garlic, chili flakes, olive oil, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, salt, and pepper to make the chimichurri sauce.
- Lightly oil the pan to prevent sticking.
- Season the steak with salt and pepper and prepare the zucchini slices.
