Ingredients:
- 4 medium-sized steaks (sirloin, ribeye, or flank)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, finely chopped (optional)
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 small red chili or 1/2 teaspoon red chili flakes
- 1/3 cup olive oil (for the sauce)
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon salt (for the sauce)
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper (for the sauce)
Directions:
-
Make the chimichurri sauce: In a bowl, mix the chopped parsley, cilantro (if you’re using it), minced garlic, and red chili. Add 1/3 cup olive oil, red wine vinegar, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Stir well. Let it sit so the flavors can blend while you prepare the steak.
-
Season the steak: Take your steaks and rub them with 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper on both sides. Let them sit at room temperature for about 10-15 minutes. This helps the flavors soak in.
-
Grill the steak: Heat your grill or grill pan to medium-high. Place the steaks on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare. If you like your steak cooked differently, adjust the time as needed. Once done, take the steaks off the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes.
Tips to make Chimichurri Grilled Steak:
- Use fresh herbs for the best flavor in your chimichurri sauce.
- Adjust the amount of chili based on how spicy you like it.
- Letting the steak rest after grilling makes it juicier when you cut into it.
- Try serving with a side of grilled veggies or a simple salad for a complete meal.
