Ingredients

  • Seasoned Beef Flap Meat (on sale) 1 lb $9.49/lb (sale)
  • Green Cabbage 1/2 head (about 3/4 lb), thinly sliced $0.99/lb
  • Jicama (on sale) 1/2 lb, peeled and julienned $1.49/lb (sale)
  • Parsley 1 bunch $0.99
  • Garlic 2 cloves, minced $0.50
  • Fresh Organic Limes - Each 1 lime, zested and juiced $0.79
  • Fresh Orange Bell Pepper 1/2 pepper, thinly sliced (optional color + crunch) $1.67
  • Olive oil 5 tbsp, divided
  • Red wine vinegar 2 tbsp
  • Crushed red pepper flakes 1/4 tsp (optional)
  • Kosher salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prep: Pat dry 1 lb seasoned beef flap meat. Let it sit at room temp 15 minutes while you prep slaw and chimichurri.
  2. Make chimichurri: Finely chop 1 bunch parsley (about 1 packed cup). In a bowl, mix chopped parsley with 2 minced garlic cloves, 2 tbsp red wine vinegar, zest + juice of 1 lime, 4 tbsp olive oil, 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional), 1/2 tsp kosher salt, and black pepper to taste. Set aside.
  3. Make slaw: Thinly slice about 1/2 head green cabbage (about 3/4 lb). Peel and julienne 1/2 lb jicama. Thinly slice 1/2 orange bell pepper (optional). Toss cabbage, jicama, and pepper with 1 tbsp olive oil, a pinch of salt, and a squeeze of lime (from the chimichurri lime if you held some back) to taste. Let it lightly marinate.
  4. Grill steak: Preheat grill to high (about 450–500°F). Lightly oil grates. Grill the 1 lb flap meat 3–5 minutes per side (depending on thickness) for medium-rare to medium (target 130–140°F internal).
  5. Rest + slice: Rest steak 5–8 minutes. Slice thinly against the grain.
  6. Serve: Spoon 2–3 tbsp chimichurri over sliced steak and serve with a big pile of cabbage-jicama slaw. Add extra lime to finish if you like it punchy.

Health notes: ~750–900 calories per serving (depends on portion and oil). High protein; slaw adds fiber and vitamin C. Moderate-to-high fat from steak and olive oil; keep it lighter by using less chimichurri and trimming visible fat.

Drink pairing: Chimichurri’s herbs and garlic love bright, medium-bodied reds with lift. Go for an Argentine-style Malbec if you want classic, or a coastal California Syrah/Grenache for peppery synergy. If you’re in CA, look for a Paso Robles Grenache or a Santa Barbara County Syrah.
