Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ribeye or New York strip steaks, about 1.5 inches thick
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 1 cup fresh parsley leaves, finely chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tbsp fresh oregano leaves, finely chopped (or 1 tbsp dried oregano if fresh isn’t available)
- 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tbsp red wine vinegar
- 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
- 1/2 tsp salt, or to taste
- 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Remove steaks from the refrigerator 30-45 minutes before cooking to bring them to room temperature.
- Combine in a medium bowl the parsley, garlic, and oregano.
- Add the olive oil, red wine vinegar, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper.
- Stir well to blend the ingredients. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. Set aside for at least 10 minutes.
- Pat the steaks dry with a paper towel to remove any surface moisture.
- Generously season both sides with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- Place a cast-iron skillet or grill pan over high heat and let it heat up for 3-5 minutes.
- Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil and swirl the pan to coat it evenly.
- Carefully place the steaks in the hot pan. Sear without moving for 3-4 minutes.
- Flip the steaks and cook for another 3-4 minutes on the other side for medium-rare.
- Transfer the steaks to a cutting board and loosely cover them with foil for 5-10 minutes.
- Slice the steaks against the grain into 1/4-inch thick slices.
- Arrange the slices on a serving plate and drizzle chimichurri sauce over the steak.
- Serve immediately with extra chimichurri sauce on the side.
Notes
For best results, let the chimichurri sit at room temperature to meld flavors and taste even better.
