Instructions
Making Chimichurri Steak is straightforward. Follow these simple steps to create a delicious meal:
1. Prepare the Chimichurri Sauce: In a bowl, combine the chopped parsley, cilantro, minced garlic, red pepper flakes, olive oil, red wine vinegar, and lemon juice. Mix well and season with salt and pepper to taste.
2. Marinate the Steaks: If time allows, coat the steaks with a portion of the chimichurri sauce and let them marinate for 15-30 minutes at room temperature. This step enhances the flavors.
3. Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a stovetop grill pan, heat it over medium-high heat as well.
4. Cook the Steaks: Remove the steaks from the marinade and place them on the hot grill. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side for medium-rare, adjusting time based on your desired doneness.
5. Rest the Steaks: Once cooked, remove the steaks from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring a tender steak.
6. Serve with Chimichurri: Slice the steaks against the grain and serve drizzled with the remaining chimichurri sauce.
These steps guide you to create a mouthwatering Chimichurri Steak that will impress everyone at your table.
