Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (8 oz each) New York strip steak
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 cup Fresh parsley (packed, chopped)
- 0.5 cup Fresh cilantro (packed, chopped)
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves (minced)
- 2 tablespoons Red wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Oregano (dried)
- 0.5 teaspoon Red chili flakes
- 1 teaspoon Sea salt (for chimichurri)
- 0.5 cup Extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
Instructions
Remove the steaks from the fridge and let them come to room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking.
Pat the steaks dry with a paper towel and rub both sides with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, kosher salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Set aside.
To make the chimichurri sauce, combine the chopped parsley, cilantro, minced garlic, red wine vinegar, oregano, red chili flakes, sea salt, extra virgin olive oil, and lemon juice in a medium bowl. Stir well to combine. Set aside at room temperature to allow the flavors to meld.
Preheat an outdoor grill or grill pan over high heat. Ensure the grates are clean and lightly greased.
Place the steaks on the grill and cook for 4-5 minutes on one side without moving them, to achieve a good sear. Flip and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the desired doneness is reached (130°F for medium-rare).
Remove the steaks from the grill and let them rest on a cutting board for 5-7 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Serve the steaks whole or slice them thinly against the grain. Drizzle generously with the chimichurri sauce, and serve any extra sauce on the side.
Enjoy your Churrasco Strip Steak with Chimichurri Sauce with a side of grilled vegetables or roasted potatoes for a complete meal.
