Chimichurri Steak
Ingredients:
- 1 ½ pounds flank steak or ribeye
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (for grilling)
Chimichurri Sauce Ingredients:
- ½ cup fresh parsley, finely chopped
- ¼ cup fresh cilantro, finely chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ cup olive oil
Instructions:
- Prepare the Chimichurri Sauce: In a small bowl, mix together parsley, cilantro, garlic, red wine vinegar, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Slowly drizzle in the olive oil while stirring. Set aside to allow the flavors to meld.
- Season the Steak: Pat the steak dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and black pepper. Let the steak rest at room temperature for 15-20 minutes before grilling.
- Grill the Steak: Heat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Brush the grill grates with olive oil. Grill the steak for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until your desired doneness is achieved.
- Rest and Slice: Remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes. Slice the steak against the grain into thin strips.
- Serve with Chimichurri: Drizzle the chimichurri sauce generously over the sliced steak. Serve immediately with your choice of sides. Enjoy!
Notes:
For a more intense flavor, marinate the steak with half of the chimichurri sauce for 1-2 hours before grilling. Serve the remaining sauce on top when ready to eat.
