Ingredients
Chimichurri:
- ½ cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- ½ cup parsley finely chopped
- 4 cloves garlic finely chopped or minced
- 2 red chilies or 1 red chili, deseeded and finely chopped, about 1 tablespoon finely chopped chili
- ¾ teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ - 1 teaspoon coarse salt leveled, adjust to your tastes
- ½ teaspoon pepper adjust to your tastes
Steaks:
- 4 steak Rib eye, T-Bone or Strip
- 1 pinch salt to season
- 1 drizzle olive oil for brushing
Instructions
For Chimichurri
- Mix all ingredients together in a bowl. Allow to sit for 5-10 minutes to release all of the flavours into the oil before using. (Chimichurri can be prepared and refrigerated for 24 hours before serving.) Makes 1 cup.
- Season steaks with salt and brush with olive oil. Grill (or pan fry in a hot cast iron skillet or pan), over medium-high heat.
- Cook for 2-3 minutes each side for medium-rare; 3-4 minutes each side for medium; or 4-5 minutes each side for well done, depending on thickness.* Transfer steaks to a tray and let rest for 5 minutes.
- Serve chimichurri on the side in a dip bowl with steaks (about 2-3 tablespoons of chimichurri per person). Allow your guests to either dip their steaks in chimichurri or pour it over steaks.
Notes
- To test if the steak is cooked to your liking, press the centre with the back of a pair of tongs. The steak will feel soft when rare; slightly firmer and springy when medium, and very firm when well done.
