Pour in the red wine vinegar and olive oil. Season with salt to taste. Stir everything together until well combined.
Rest the Chimichurri
Let the chimichurri sit for at least 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Prepare the Steak
Pat the flank steak dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt and pepper.

Toast the Buns
Slice the burger buns in half horizontally. Lightly butter the cut sides and toast them on the grill or in a pan until golden brown.
Layer the Sandwich
Spread a generous amount of chimichurri on the bottom half of each toasted bun. Layer the sliced grilled steak on top of the chimichurri.
Add More Chimichurri
Top the steak with another spoonful of chimichurri.
Finish and Serve
Place the top half of the bun on the sandwich. Serve immediately.

Tips

For an even more vibrant flavor, use flat-leaf parsley instead of curly parsley.
Don't skip resting the steak; it allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful steak.
If you don't have a grill, you can pan-sear the steak and toast the buns in a skillet.
