Step by step instructions

1. Prep the Chimichurri Sauce:

1) * Gather your ingredients: fresh parsley, garlic cloves, olive oil, red wine vinegar, lemon, and red pepper flakes (optional) on a cutting board.

*

* Roughly chop the parsley leaves.

* Mince the garlic cloves for a stronger flavor, or leave them in larger pieces for a milder taste.

2. Blend the Sauce:

* Combine all the chopped ingredients for the chimichurri sauce in a blender.

* Pour in the olive oil and a splash of red wine vinegar or lemon juice.

* Pulse the blender until the mixture is finely chopped but still retains some texture. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

For the steak

3. Prepare the Steak:

* Select your favorite cut of steak for grilling. Thick-cut options like ribeye or New York strip work well.

* Pat the steak dry with paper towels to ensure even browning.

* Generously season the steak with salt and freshly ground black pepper on a plate.

4. Preheat the Grill:

* Get your grill nice and hot! Aim for medium-high heat, around 450°F (230°C) for optimal searing.

5. Sear the Steak:

* Carefully place the seasoned steak on the preheated grill.

* Sear the steak undisturbed for 2-3 minutes per side, depending on the thickness and desired doneness.

* Use tongs to turn the steak to avoid piercing it and losing its juices.

* You'll see beautiful grill marks forming on the surface of the steak.

6. Rest and Slice:

* Once the steak reaches your desired doneness, transfer it to a plate and tent it loosely with foil.

* Letting the steak rest for 5-10 minutes allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful steak.

* Slice the steak against the grain for maximum tenderness.

7. Plate and Enjoy!

* Drizzle the vibrant green chimichurri sauce generously over the sliced steak for a burst of freshness and tangy flavor.

*

* Serve alongside your favorite grilled vegetables, roasted potatoes, or a simple salad for a complete and delicious meal.

* Fat: 30-40 grams

* Carbs: 5-10 grams

**Notes and FAQ:**

* **Choosing your steak:** Select a thick-cut steak like ribeye, New York strip, or skirt steak for optimal grilling results.

* **Doneness preference:** Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the steak for your desired doneness:

* Rare: 120°F (49°C)

* Medium-rare: 130°F (54°C)

* Medium: 140°F (60°C)

* Medium-well: 150°F (66°C)

* Well-done: 160°F (71°C)

* **Resting the steak:** Letting the steak rest after grilling is crucial for maintaining its juiciness.

Explore recipe variations by:

* **Trying different chimichurri ingredients:** Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a spicier sauce or swap the parsley with cilantro for a different flavor profile.

* **Experimenting with marinades:** Marinate your steak in your favorite marinade before grilling for extra flavor.

* Chimichurri sauce can also be used on chicken, fish, or egg

**Storage Instructions:**

* Leftover steak can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

* Chimichurri sauce can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

**Possible Substitutions:**

* **Steak:** Flank steak, flat iron steak, or hanger steak can be used as substitutes.

* **Red wine vinegar:** Lemon juice or white wine vinegar can be used in place of red wine vinegar.

* **Fresh herbs:** If fresh parsley is unavailable, use ½ cup chopped frozen parsley or a combination of other fresh herbs like cilantro, basil, or oregano.

**Best Before Date:**

Freshly prepared chimichurri sauce is best enjoyed within 5 days. However, the chimichurri can lose some of its vibrancy and freshness over time.

**Allergy and Avoidance Information:**

This recipe contains gluten (from wheat) and soy (from soy sauce in the chimichurri sauce). Opt for gluten-free soy sauce or alternative ingredients like tamari or coconut aminos for a gluten-free version.

**Food and Beverage Pairings:**

* **Wine:** Pair this dish with a bold red wine like Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon, or Zinfandel.

* **Beer:** Enjoy a cold beer like an IPA or a lager with your steak.

* **Non-alcoholic beverages:** Iced tea, lemonade, or sparkling water are refreshing options.
