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

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

Preheat an outdoor grill or grill pan over high heat. Ensure the grates are clean and lightly greased.

Step 5

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).

Step 6

Remove the steaks from the grill and let them rest on a cutting board for 5-7 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

Enjoy your Churrasco Strip Steak with Chimichurri Sauce with a side of grilled vegetables or roasted potatoes for a complete meal.
