Make the Chimichurri Sauce: In a bowl, mix the parsley, garlic, olive oil, red wine vinegar, oregano, and red pepper flakes. Add salt and pepper to taste. Let the sauce sit while you cook the steak.

Prepare the Steak: Rub both sides of the steaks with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the steaks for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer for desired doneness. Let the steaks rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
3
Assemble the Salad: In a large bowl, toss the mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, onion, and cucumber with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Arrange the sliced avocado on top of the salad.

Serve: Slice the steak thinly and arrange it over the salad. Drizzle generously with the chimichurri sauce. Serve and enjoy!
