Ingredients
For the steak:
- 2 Lbs Ribeye or sirloin streak
- 2 Tbsp Olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
For the chimichurri sauce:
- 1 Cup Fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 1/4 Cup Fresh cilantro, finely chopped
- 1/2 Cup Olive oil
- 1/4 Cup Red wine vinegar
- 3 Cloves garlic, minced
- 1 Tsp Salt
- 1/2 Tsp Black pepper
- 1/2 Tsp Red pepper flakes
Instructions
- Prepare the Chimichurri:In a bowl, combine parsley, cilantro, olive oil, red wine vinegar, garlic, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Whisk until well blended. Let the sauce sit for at least 10 minutes to let the flavors meld together. This can also be made a day ahead and refrigerated to enhance the flavors.
- Prep the Steak:Pat the steak dry with paper towels. This ensures you get a nice sear. Rub each steak with olive oil and generously season both sides with salt and pepper.
- Grill the Steak:Preheat your grill to high heat. Place steaks on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or longer depending on your preferred level of doneness.Remove the steaks from the grill and let them rest for at least 5 minutes. This helps the juices redistribute throughout the meat, making your steak juicier and more flavorful.
- Serve:Slice the steaks against the grain and drizzle generously with the chimichurri sauce. Serve immediately.
