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

Directions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

Preheat your grill or a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly pat the ribeye steaks dry with paper towels.

Step 4

Season both sides of the steaks with salt and black pepper, ensuring even distribution.

Step 5

Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil on each steak and rub it over the surfaces to coat evenly.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

Slice the steaks against the grain and serve with a generous spoonful of chimichurri sauce on top or on the side. Enjoy!
