Instructions

Creating a delicious Chimichurri Steak involves a few simple steps. Follow this guide to ensure perfect results:

  1. Make the Chimichurri Sauce: In a mixing bowl, combine the parsley, cilantro, oregano, minced garlic, red pepper flakes, olive oil, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Mix well and set aside.
  1. Prepare the Steak: Season the steaks liberally with salt and pepper. If you have time, let them sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes for optimal flavor.
  1. Marinate the Steaks: Place the seasoned steaks in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour half of the chimichurri sauce over the steaks, coating them well. Seal the bag (or cover the dish) and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 2 hours.
  1. Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to high heat (about 450°F to 500°F).
  1. Grill the Steaks: Remove the steaks from the marinade and allow any excess to drip off. Place steaks on the grill and cook for about 4-6 minutes for medium-rare, flipping halfway through. Cook longer if you prefer your steak medium or well done.
  1. Rest the Steaks: Once cooked to your liking, remove the steaks from the grill and cover them loosely with aluminum foil. Allow the steaks to rest for about 5-10 minutes. This helps the juices redistribute for a tender bite.
  1. Serve the Steaks: Slice the steaks against the grain and drizzle the remaining chimichurri sauce over the top.
  1. Garnish (Optional): Add additional fresh herbs or lemon wedges for an impressive presentation.

These steps will guide you through preparing a tender and flavorful Chimichurri Steak that will have everyone coming back for seconds!
