Ingredients

Scale

For the Steak

  • 2 lbs sirloin or ribeye steak (or your preferred cut)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

For the Chimichurri Sauce

  • 1 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, finely chopped
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
  • 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chimichurri Sauce: In a bowl, combine the finely chopped parsley, cilantro, minced garlic, and red pepper flakes to form the base of the sauce.
  2. Mix in Liquids: Stir in the red wine vinegar and olive oil until the ingredients are fully incorporated, creating a vibrant and tangy sauce.
  3. Season the Sauce: Add salt and pepper to taste, adjusting the seasoning according to your preference for a balanced flavor.
  4. Let Sauce Meld: Set the chimichurri aside to allow the flavors to meld while you prepare the steak, enhancing the depth of taste.
  5. Preheat the Grill: Heat your grill to high heat to ensure a perfect sear and optimal cooking temperature for the steak.
  6. Prepare the Steak: Rub the steak evenly with olive oil and generously season both sides with salt and pepper to enhance its natural flavors.
  7. Grill the Steak: Place the steak on the hot grill and cook for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, adjusting time if desired doneness is different.
  8. Rest the Steak: Remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for 5-10 minutes, allowing the juices to redistribute for maximum tenderness.
  9. Slice the Steak: Cut the steak against the grain into strips to ensure each piece is tender and easy to eat.
  10. Serve with Chimichurri: Drizzle the prepared chimichurri sauce generously over the sliced steak to add fresh, zesty flavor.
  11. Optional Serving Suggestion: Serve additional chimichurri sauce on the side for dipping to accommodate everyone’s taste preferences.

Notes

  • Letting the steak rest after grilling is crucial for juicy, tender meat.
  • Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes in the chimichurri sauce to control the heat level.
  • Use fresh herbs for the chimichurri sauce to maximize freshness and flavor.
  • The steak can be cooked to any preferred doneness; adjust grilling time accordingly.
  • Chimichurri sauce can be prepared ahead of time and refrigerated for up to 2 days for convenience.
