Hey there, steak lovers! Ready for a zesty twist on your favorite cut? Let’s spice things up with Chimichurri Steak—juicy grilled steak topped with a fresh, tangy chimichurri sauce that’s bursting with flavor!

Chimichurri Steak

Ingredients:​

• 2 ribeye steaks (about 1 inch thick)
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
• 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
• 2 tbsp red wine vinegar
• 1 tsp red pepper flakes (optional for heat)
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 1/2 tsp smoked paprika

Instructions:​

1. Prepare the Chimichurri Sauce: In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, minced garlic, parsley, cilantro, red wine vinegar, red pepper flakes (if using), smoked paprika, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir well and let the flavors meld while you prepare the steak.
2. Season the Steaks: Generously season both sides of the steaks with salt, pepper, and a sprinkle of smoked paprika for an extra layer of flavor.
3. Grill the Steaks: Heat your grill (or grill pan) to medium-high heat. Grill the steaks for 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until cooked to your preferred doneness. Let the steaks rest for a few minutes after grilling.
4. Top with Chimichurri: Slice the steaks against the grain, then spoon the fresh chimichurri sauce generously over the top.
5. Serve: Pair with a side of grilled veggies, potatoes, or a fresh salad, and dig in!

Chimichurri steak is always a winner! The fresh, herby chimichurri sauce adds such a bold, zesty flavor to the steak. I love how it cuts through the richness.

I think a good chimichurri needs lots of fresh parsley and garlic—it really makes the steak pop!
