Ingredients
For the Steak:
- 2 lbs steak (sirloin, ribeye, or flank)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and black pepper to taste
For the Chimichurri Sauce:
- 1 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- ¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 small red chili, chopped (optional, for a little spice)
- ¼ cup red wine vinegar
- ½ cup olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
1. Make the Chimichurri Sauce
In a bowl, mix parsley, cilantro (if using), garlic, red chili, red wine vinegar, olive oil, oregano, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Stir well and let it sit for 15 minutes so the flavors blend together.
2. Heat the Grill
Turn on your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
3. Season and Cook the Steak
Rub the steak with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Place it on the grill and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or longer if you like it more well-done. Let the steak rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
4. Serve and Enjoy
Cut the steak against the grain (this keeps it tender), drizzle with chimichurri sauce, and serve!
Tips & Tricks
- Side Dish Ideas: Serve with rice, roasted potatoes, or a fresh salad.
- Make It Spicier: Add extra red pepper flakes or another chili.
- Leftover Sauce? Store chimichurri in the fridge for up to one week.
