Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces (8 ounces each) Ribeye steak
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 cup (packed) Fresh parsley
- 0.5 cup (packed) Fresh cilantro
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 2 tablespoons Red wine vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoon Red chili flakes
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.25 cup Olive oil (for sauce)
Instructions
Remove the steaks from the refrigerator and let them come to room temperature for about 20 minutes.
Pat the steaks dry with a paper towel and rub them with 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Season both sides of the steaks evenly with salt and black pepper.
Heat a large skillet or grill pan over high heat until very hot. Sear the steaks for 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or adjust the cooking time to your desired doneness.
Remove the steaks from the heat and let them rest for 5 minutes under foil to retain juices.
While the steaks rest, prepare the chimichurri sauce. In a food processor or blender, combine parsley, cilantro, garlic, red wine vinegar, red chili flakes, lemon juice, and 1/4 cup olive oil.
Pulse the mixture until finely chopped but not pureed. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.
To serve, slice the steak against the grain and drizzle generously with the chimichurri sauce. Serve immediately and enjoy!
