Ingredients
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 2 teaspoons sea salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 ½ lb thick-cut steak
The Chimichurri
- 1 cup parsley minced
- ½ cup olive oil
- ¼ cup sherry vinegar can sub red wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- sea salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Place all the chimichurri ingredients into a medium-sized bowl and mix well. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Cut the steak into large cubes and place them into a medium-sized bowl. Add the oil, salt, and pepper and mix well.
- 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.
