Ingredients
- 2 lbs Steak (ribeye, sirloin, or your preferred cut)
- 3 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Black pepper
- 1 cup Fresh flat-leaf parsley
- 1 cup Fresh cilantro
- 2 tbsp Fresh oregano leaves
- 3 Garlic cloves
- 2 tbsp Red wine vinegar
- 0.5 tsp Red chili flakes
- 1 tbsp Freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 0.5 cup Extra-virgin olive oil (for chimichurri sauce)
Directions
Step 1
Remove the steak from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for 20 minutes before cooking. Pat it dry with paper towels.
Step 2
Brush the steak with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and season generously on both sides with salt and black pepper.
Step 3
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. While the grill heats, prepare the chimichurri sauce.
Step 4
To make the chimichurri sauce, combine parsley, cilantro, oregano, garlic cloves, red wine vinegar, red chili flakes, lemon juice, and 0.5 cups of extra-virgin olive oil in a food processor or blender.
Step 5
Pulse the ingredients until finely chopped, but not pureed. Transfer the sauce to a bowl and set aside.
Step 6
Once the grill is hot, place the steak on the grates. Cook for 4-6 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness is reached.
Step 7
Remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for 5-7 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Step 8
Slice the steak against the grain and serve with a generous drizzle of chimichurri sauce. Enjoy your Paleo-friendly, nutrient-packed meal!
