5. Grill the zucchini slices for about 2-3 minutes on each side until tender and slightly charred.
6. Prepare the chimichurri sauce by combining parsley, red wine vinegar, chili flakes, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
7. Slice the rested steak thinly against the grain and serve with grilled zucchini, whipped feta, and a drizzle of chimichurri sauce.
8. Garnish with optional fresh herbs and lemon wedges for added flavor.
