Roughly chop the parsley, cilantro, and green onions. Add them to the bowl of a food processor.
To the food processor, add the lemon juice, minced garlic, minced ginger, white wine vinegar, pickled jalapeños, crushed red pepper flakes, honey, and a pinch of salt.
Secure the lid and pulse the ingredients a few times to combine.
With the food processor running on low, slowly stream in the olive oil until the sauce is emulsified and reaches your desired consistency.
Taste the sauce and adjust seasonings if needed. Pour into a serving bowl.
Grill or pan-sear your steak to your preferred doneness. Let it rest for a few minutes before slicing against the grain.
Arrange the sliced steak on a platter and spoon the herb sauce generously over the top. Serve immediately.
