Description
A flavorful dish featuring juicy steaks topped with a vibrant chimichurri sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ribeye or New York strip steaks (about 1.5 inches thick)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt, to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 1 cup fresh parsley leaves, finely chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh oregano, finely chopped (or 1 tablespoon dried oregano)
- ½ cup extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- ½ teaspoon salt, or to taste
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Remove the steaks from the refrigerator 30–45 minutes before cooking to bring them to room temperature.
- In a bowl, combine parsley, garlic, oregano, olive oil, lemon juice, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Stir well and set aside for at least 10 minutes to let flavors blend.
- Pat the steaks dry with paper towels. Season generously on both sides with salt and black pepper.
- Heat a cast-iron skillet or grill pan over high heat for 3–5 minutes. Add olive oil and swirl to coat.
- Place the steaks in the hot pan and sear for 3–4 minutes without moving. Flip and cook another 3–4 minutes for medium-rare, adjusting time for desired doneness.
- Transfer steaks to a cutting board, loosely cover with foil, and rest for 5–10 minutes.
- Slice against the grain into ¼-inch slices. Drizzle generously with chimichurri sauce.
- Serve immediately with extra sauce on the side.
Notes
- Well-marbled steaks give the best flavor and tenderness.
- For more heat, increase the red pepper flakes.
- Chimichurri can be made up to 24 hours ahead and stored refrigerated.
