Description

Juicy, bold, and ready in 20 minutes, this steakhouse-style grilled steak with chimichurri sauce is the ultimate weeknight dinner upgrade—fresh, herby, and full of flavor.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 ribeye, T-bone, or strip steaks (about 1-inch thick)
  • Olive oil (for brushing)
  • Coarse salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • ½ cup olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar (or lemon juice)
  • ½ cup fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • 12 red chilies, deseeded and finely chopped (or 1 tbsp chili flakes)
  • ¾ teaspoon dried oregano
  • ½1 teaspoon coarse salt
  • ½ teaspoon pepper


Instructions

  1. Mix olive oil, red wine vinegar, parsley, garlic, chili, oregano, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Let sit for 10 minutes (or refrigerate up to 24 hours) for flavors to develop.
  2. Pat steaks dry, brush with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper.
  3. Grill over medium-high heat for 2–3 minutes per side for medium-rare. Cook longer for desired doneness.
  4. Let steaks rest for 5 minutes off the heat.
  5. Spoon chimichurri over steaks or serve on the side. Enjoy immediately.

Notes

Ribeye, T-bone, and strip steaks hold up best to chimichurri. Chimichurri can be made ahead and chilled for extra flavor. Great with roasted potatoes or grilled veggies.
