Chop fresh parsley, cilantro, garlic, and oregano finely.
Combine the herbs with red wine vinegar, olive oil, salt, pepper, and a pinch of red pepper flakes.

Cook the Steak
Season the steak generously with salt and pepper.
Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat.
Cook the steak for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until it reaches your desired doneness.
Let the steak rest for 5 minutes, then slice thinly against the grain.

Add cherry tomatoes, sliced red onions, or other preferred veggies.
Top with the sliced steak.
