Ingredients<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Serves 4.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
For the Steak:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\n
1.5 lbs flank steak, skirt steak, or ribeye<\/li>\n\n\n\n
1 tablespoon olive oil<\/li>\n\n\n\n
1 teaspoon salt<\/li>\n\n\n\n
\u00bd teaspoon black pepper<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
For the Chimichurri:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\n
1 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped<\/li>\n\n\n\n
\u00bc cup fresh cilantro (optional)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
4 cloves garlic, minced<\/li>\n\n\n\n
\u00bd cup olive oil<\/li>\n\n\n\n
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar<\/li>\n\n\n\n
1 tablespoon lemon juice<\/li>\n\n\n\n
\u00bd teaspoon red pepper flakes<\/li>\n\n\n\n
\u00bd teaspoon salt<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Step-by-Step Instructions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Step 1: Make the Chimichurri First<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n
Combine parsley, cilantro (if using), garlic, red pepper flakes, and salt in a bowl.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Add olive oil, red wine vinegar, and lemon juice. Stir well.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Let sit for at least 15 minutes (or up to 2 hours) for flavors to meld.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
Step 2: Prep the Steak<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n
Pat steak completely dry with paper towels.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Rub with olive oil, salt, and pepper.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Let sit at room temperature for 15-20 minutes.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
Step 3: Heat the Grill<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n
Preheat grill to high heat (450-500\u00b0F).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Clean and oil the grates.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
Step 4: Grill the Steak<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n
Place steak on the grill. Cook undisturbed for 4-6 minutes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Flip and cook for another 3-5 minutes for medium-rare.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Use a meat thermometer: 130-135\u00b0F for medium-rare.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
Step 5: Rest and Slice<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n
Transfer steak to a cutting board. Rest for 5-10 minutes (non-negotiable).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Slice thinly against the grain.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
Step 6: Douse With Chimichurri<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n
Spoon chimichurri generously over the sliced steak.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Serve with extra sauce on the side.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
Steak is best fresh but leftovers keep for 3 days. Reheat gently in a low oven or skillet. Chimichurri refrigerates for up to 1 week\u2014bring to room temperature before serving. Do not freeze chimichurri (herbs turn mushy).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
