Ingredients

Directions

Combine the parsley and cilantro (leaves and stems), garlic, half of the sliced onion, 1 tablespoon salt, 1 teaspoon pepper, vinegar, 2 tablespoons lemon juice and 1/2 cup olive oil in a food processor; blend into a thick and smooth chimichurri sauce. Pierce both sides of the steak with a fork several times; place in a resealable plastic bag and add half of the sauce. Seal the bag and turn to coat the steak; refrigerate for at least 1 hour. Cover and reserve the remaining sauce.

Preheat a grill to medium-high. Remove the steak from the bag (discard the bag of sauce); season with salt and pepper and grill until medium-rare, about 6 minutes per side. Let rest, loosely covered with foil, for 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the peppers and the remaining sliced onion half; season with salt and pepper. Saute until the vegetables are softened and caramelized around the edges, about 8 minutes. Add the beer, cover and cook until the peppers are tender, about 5 minutes.

Warm the tortillas on the grill. Thinly slice the steak on the bias; divide among the tortillas along with the peppers and onions. Thin the reserved chimichurri sauce with the remaining 1 tablespoon lemon juice; drizzle over the fajitas. Serve with lime wedges, if desired.

    This has got to be one of the most delicious meals I have ever had. It was amazing. I am only thirteen and I cooked this by myself for my family and it was amazing especially the chimichurri
    sauce it added a nice flavor. We are keeping the rest of the sauce to try on salad hopefully it will be good I think it will be amazing. Anyways great recipe and if you have not made this yet you need to try it AMAZING!!!

    Great meal! Love your chimichurri. I used the extra for tuna salad which gave it a fresh kick! I had the meat tenderized which allowed for more flavor to penetrate the meat and thought the drunken peppers were a nice twist on the typical sauteed bell peppers and onions. Top to bottom, a keeper of a dish!

    I had high hopes for this recipe after all the great reviews... however, it fell short for me. The chimichurri was very yummy, as were the "drunken peppers" and I'll definitely make those again. The only substitutions I made were an aged balsamic in place of red wine vinegar and I did not have lemon.

    The meat did not come out flavored enough for me!! I'll definitely do something different there next time.
