Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs steak (such as sirloin, ribeye, or flank steak)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • For the Chimichurri Sauce:
  • 1 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped

  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the chimichurri sauce: In a medium bowl, combine the chopped parsley, cilantro, minced garlic, olive oil, red wine vinegar, dried oregano, and red pepper flakes (if using). Season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir well to combine. Set aside.
  2. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
  3. Pat the steak dry with paper towels. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper on both sides.
  4. Grill the steak for 4-6 minutes per side for medium-rare, or adjust cooking time to your desired level of doneness.
  5. Once cooked, remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
  6. Slice the steak against the grain.
  7. Serve the sliced steak with a generous spoonful of the chimichurri sauce over the top.

Notes

  • For an even more vibrant chimichurri, add a tablespoon of fresh lemon juice.
  • If you don’t have a grill, you can pan-sear the steak in a hot skillet.
  • Let the chimichurri sit for at least 15 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
