For the Steak:

Mix all the spices, garlic and oil together and then smear onto the steak. Let the steak marinate for 4 to 6 hours. Remove the steak and sauce from the fridge about 30 minutes prior to grilling.

Heat the grill to high heat and grill the steak for about 4 minutes on each side for medium rare. Remove from the grill, tent with aluminum foil and let rest for approximately 10 minutes.

Slice the steak into thin strips across the grain and serve with the Chimichurri Sauce.
