This was tonight's dinner. It could've been much
hotter but I wanted to follow the recipe and I didn't
want the chiles to overpower the parsley flavor. That
was important. It was incredibly delicious.

Of course, if you wish, you can up the amount of
chile, which is almost nothing. I got this from
Everyday Food Magazine, June 04, and they aren't a
chile publication so up the amount all you want.

The paste is similar to a Chimichurri sauce and it is
just incredible with the steak flavors. Yummy.

   1                    london broil
                        steak rub
                        Paste:
     1/2  bunch         flat-leaf parsley
   3      cloves        garlic
   1 1/2  tb            fresh oregano
   1 1/2  tb            red wine vinegar
     1/8  tsp           red pepper flakes
   3      tb            extra-virgin olive oil

For paste: In food processor, grind up the garlic with
the parsley. Add the oregano, vinegar and red pepper
flakes. Puree. Then, with machine on, drizzle in the
olive oil until a paste forms. Stop machine. Set
aside.

For steak:

In a casserole dish or something large enough to hold
the steak, rub the steak rub into the meat. Let it sit
for several hours, or overnight. When ready to cook, 
preheat broiler (or set up grill). When hot, spray
grill rack (off the fire of course) or the broiler pan
with cooking spray. Put steak on pan and put under the
broiler for 6 minutes on one side, then turn over and
cook for another 2-3 minutes, for rare (140 degrees F)
or medium rare (145).* Any more and it will be
impossible to chew.

Remove from broiler pan and let rest, on a platter,
for 5 minutes. Do not touch it.

Carve steak. 

Serve drizzled with parsley paste.

NOTES : Risa's note:

* If using grill, grill on one side for 6 minutes and
then turn over and cook for another couple of minutes.
Remove to platter and let it sit for a few minutes. Do
not cut into it. The juices will run all over the
place and will make the steak even harder to chew.
