1 1/2 cup fresh parsley
1/4 c red wine vinegar (or distilled will work)

Directions
1. Preheat broiler.
2. In food processor, finely chop oregano, garlic, parsley, vinegar, oil, lemon, cayenne, and addition 1/2 tsp salt. Pulse until herbs are finely chopped, but not pureed.  (Some would recommending marinating the steak in a portion of this sauce. I did not do it this time, but I am sure it would be delicious)
3. Pat steak dry. Stir together salt, cumin, and pepper in a small bowl. Rub mixture on both sides of steak or season to taste.
