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)
Directions
Step 1
Remove the steaks from the refrigerator and let them come to room temperature for about 20 minutes.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
Remove the steaks from the heat and let them rest for 5 minutes under foil to retain juices.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
Pulse the mixture until finely chopped but not pureed. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.
Step 7
To serve, slice the steak against the grain and drizzle generously with the chimichurri sauce. Serve immediately and enjoy!
