Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Ribeye steaks
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 pieces Garlic cloves
- 1 cup Fresh parsley leaves
- 0.5 cup Fresh cilantro leaves
- 2 tablespoons Red wine vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
Instructions
Start by preparing the chimichurri sauce. In a food processor, combine the garlic cloves, parsley leaves, cilantro leaves, red wine vinegar, red pepper flakes, and a generous pinch of salt. Pulse until coarsely chopped.
With the processor running, slowly add 1/4 cup of olive oil in a steady stream through the feed tube until the sauce is emulsified. Transfer to a serving bowl.
Preheat your grill or a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly pat the ribeye steaks dry with paper towels.
Season both sides of the steaks with salt and black pepper, ensuring even distribution.
Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil on each steak and rub it over the surfaces to coat evenly.
Place the steaks on the preheated grill or skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, depending on the thickness of the steaks and your desired level of doneness.
Once cooked to your liking, remove the steaks from the heat and let rest for 5 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.
Slice the steaks against the grain and serve with a generous spoonful of chimichurri sauce on top or on the side. Enjoy!
