Chimichurri Steak Bites Recipe
Description
This recipe prepares thick-cut steak cut into large cubes, seasoned with olive oil, sea salt, and black pepper. The steak bites are seared in a very hot cast-iron pan in batches to ensure a golden crust without overcooking inside. Resting the meat after cooking lets the juices redistribute, keeping the steak tender.
The chimichurri sauce is a fresh, oily herb sauce combining chopped parsley, olive oil, sherry vinegar (or red wine vinegar), oregano, red pepper flakes, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. It adds bright, tangy, and mildly spicy notes that complement the rich grilled steak.
Serving the steak bites with chimichurri either drizzled or as a dip creates a contrast between the savory seared meat and the crisp, zesty sauce. This dish suits casual meals or appetizers where bite-sized pieces are easy to eat.
Ingredients
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 2 teaspoons salt sea salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 ½ lb steak thick-cut
The Chimichurri
- 1 cup parsley minced
- ½ cup olive oil
- ¼ cup sherry vinegar can sub red wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon oregano dried
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes

- Heat a large cast-iron pan over high heat. Working in batches, add the steak bites and sear until they have a golden crust, about 3 minutes. Adjust the heat as needed - you want the pan very hot so that the crust develops before the steak cooks through, but you don't want the steak to burn.
- Let the steak bites rest for 10 minutes then serve them with the chimichurri sauce drizzled over the top of on the side as a dip.
