Description

A flavorful fusion of grilled steak with vibrant chimichurri sauce, perfect for any occasion.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ribeye or New York strip steaks (about 1.5 inches thick)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 cup fresh parsley leaves, finely chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tbsp fresh oregano leaves, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tbsp red wine vinegar
  • 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
  • 1/2 tsp salt (or to taste)
  • 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. Bring steaks to room temperature by removing them from the refrigerator 30-45 minutes ahead of cooking.
  2. Prepare the chimichurri sauce by combining chopped parsley, minced garlic, and oregano in a mixing bowl.
  3. Pour in olive oil, red wine vinegar, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper, then stir until blended and let it rest for at least 10 minutes.
  4. Pat the steaks dry with a paper towel and season both sides generously with salt and black pepper.
  5. Heat your cast-iron skillet or grill pan over high heat and add a drizzle of olive oil.
  6. Sear the steaks for 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare.
  7. Transfer the cooked steaks to a cutting board and loosely cover with foil for 5-10 minutes to rest.
  8. Slice the steaks against the grain and drizzle chimichurri sauce over the top.
  9. Serve immediately with extra chimichurri on the side.

Notes

Make the chimichurri sauce a day in advance for deeper flavors. Avoid skipping the room temperature step for even cooking.
