🛒 Ingredients (Serves 2)
For the Steak:
-
2 steaks (ribeye, sirloin, or flank steak — your choice)
-
2 tbsp olive oil
-
Salt and pepper to taste
-
1 lemon (for zesting and juicing)
For the Chimichurri Sauce:
-
1 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped
-
3 cloves garlic, minced
-
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
-
1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
-
1/2 cup olive oil
-
1 tbsp fresh oregano (or 1 tsp dried oregano)
-
Salt and pepper to taste
🔥 How to Make It
-
Prepare the Chimichurri: In a small bowl, mix the parsley, garlic, red wine vinegar, red pepper flakes, oregano, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Stir until well combined and set aside to let the flavors meld.
-
Grill the Steak: Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Rub the steaks with olive oil, salt, and pepper, and grill for 4–6 minutes on each side (depending on thickness and desired doneness).
-
Rest the Steak: Remove the steaks from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes. This helps the juices redistribute and keeps the steak tender and juicy.
-
Serve: Drizzle the chimichurri sauce over the steaks, garnish with fresh herbs, and serve with your favorite sides — grilled vegetables, a fresh salad, or even crispy potatoes!
