Chimichurri Sauce

Method

Chimichurri Sauce

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chimichurri Sauce

    In a food processor, combine the fresh parsley, garlic cloves, red wine vinegar, olive oil, oregano, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Blend the Ingredients

    Pulse the food processor until the mixture is well combined but still slightly chunky. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

  3. 3

    Transfer to a Bowl

    Transfer the chimichurri sauce to a serving bowl and let it sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Steak

  1. 4

    Prepare the Steak

    Remove the ribeye steaks from the refrigerator and let them come to room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking.

  2. 5

    Season the Steaks

    Pat the steaks dry with paper towels. Season both sides generously with salt and black pepper.

  3. 6

    Heat the Pan

    In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers.

  4. 7

    Cook the Steaks

    Add the steaks to the hot skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side until browned. Flip and cook for another 4-5 minutes for medium-rare, or until desired doneness.

  5. 8

    Rest the Steaks

    Remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

  6. 9

    Serve

    Slice the steaks against the grain and serve with the chimichurri sauce drizzled on top.
