Ingredients

• 2 pounds Lean beef flank steak
• 1.5 pounds Skinless chicken breast
• 1 pound Chorizo (lean turkey or chicken)
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 4 minced Garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons Fresh oregano
• 1 cup, chopped Fresh parsley
• 3 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 2 teaspoons Salt
• 2 teaspoons Ground black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Red chili flakes
• 0.25 cup White wine vinegar

Directions

Step 1

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, oregano, parsley, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, red chili flakes, and white wine vinegar to create a marinade.

Step 2

2. Place beef flank steak, skinless chicken breast, and chorizo into a large resealable plastic bag or airtight container and pour the marinade over the meat.

Step 3

3. Seal the bag or container and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat.

Step 4

4. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. When ready, remove meats from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off, and place them on the grill.

Step 5

5. Grill the flank steak for approximately 6-8 minutes per side, or until desired level of doneness is achieved.

Step 6

6. Grill the chicken breasts for about 5-7 minutes per side, ensuring they are cooked through and have reached an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).

Step 7

7. Grill the chorizo until lightly charred and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes total.

Step 8

8. Remove all meats from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes before slicing to retain juices.

Step 9

9. Slice the beef against the grain and serve all meats on a large platter.

Step 10

10. Optional: Serve with a side of chimichurri sauce for an authentic Argentinian touch.
