STEAKS WITH CHIMICHURRI



Steaks with Chimichurri image

I think steak really is the perfect solution for a quick dinner. First, there's a steak to fit any budget, from pricey filets and rib-eyes (if it's a special dinner) to sirloin and bottom round for a regular weeknight meal. Second, steaks can so easily be changed up with different serving sauces. If you haven't ever tasted the bright-green magic of chimichurri sauce (a South American specialty) spooned over a medium-rare steak...oh, boy. You're in for a treat! I like to pile whole or sliced steaks on a cutting board next to a bowl of chimichurri, then let everyone serve themselves. So fresh and fun.

Time 30m

Yield as many steaks as you like, with enough sauce for 8 to 10 steaks

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups packed cilantro leaves
2 cups packed flat-leaf parsley leaves
Small handful mint leaves
2 garlic cloves, grated
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Kosher salt and black pepper
3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons olive oil
Any steak of your choice: rib-eye, filet, sirloin, and so on, about 1 1/2 inches thick
2 tablespoons butter

Steps:

  • First, make the chimichurri by placing the herbs and garlic into a food processor (or blender). Add the vinegar, red pepper flakes, salt and black pepper to taste.
  • Pulse it a few times then continue pulsing while adding 3/4 cup of the olive oil. Keep pulsing until the mixture is pulverized, leaving just a little texture from the herbs. Transfer to a bowl, then cover and refrigerate until you need it (you can make it up to 1 day ahead, though it's best to make it the same day).
  • Season the steak on both sides with salt and pepper. Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat and add the butter and remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil. When it's melted and starting to brown, add a steak. Fry until medium rare, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Remove the steak and let it rest for 3 minutes. (If you're frying more steaks, just add a little more butter and oil to the pan as needed.)
  • Slice the steak. Serve it with the chimichurri on the side.

Categories     3-Ingredient Recipes     Summer     Steak     Chile Pepper     Hot Pepper     Lime Juice     Lime     Dinner

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 canned chipotle chile in adobo, ribs and seeds removed, plus 1 tablespoon adobo sauce
1 1/2 teaspoons lime zest (from about 2 limes), divided
1/3 cup fresh lime juice (from about 3 limes)
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, plus more
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more
1 1/2 pounds skirt or flank steak
Lime wedges (for serving)

Steps:

  • Blend chile, adobo sauce, 1 tsp. lime zest, lime juice, oil, 1 1/2 tsp. salt, and 1 tsp. pepper in a blender until smooth. Place steak in a large resealable plastic bag, pour marinade over, and toss to coat. Marinate, tossing occasionally, at least 30 minutes at room temperature, or chill overnight.
  • If chilled, let steak sit at room temperature 30 minutes. Prepare a grill or grill pan for medium-high heat. Remove steak from marinade; discard marinade. Grill steak until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of steak registers 120-125°F for medium-rare, 2-3 minutes per side for skirt; 3-4 minutes per side for flank. Let rest 10 minutes before thinly slicing against the grain (to make slicing easier for skirt steak, cut into 5-6" segments, then slice against the grain).
  • Transfer to a platter and top with remaining 1/2 tsp. lime zest; season with salt and pepper. Serve with lime wedges alongside.

Tips:

  • For the most flavorful steak, choose a well-marbled cut of beef, such as ribeye or strip steak.
  • Before cooking the steak, season it generously with salt and pepper. This will help to create a flavorful crust.
  • Cook the steak over high heat to quickly sear the outside and create a nice crust. Then, reduce the heat and cook the steak to your desired doneness.
  • To make the chimichurri sauce, use fresh herbs and spices. This will give the sauce the most flavor.
  • Serve the steak with the chimichurri sauce and your favorite sides.

Conclusion:

This steak with chipotle lime chimichurri is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The steak is cooked to perfection and the chimichurri sauce is flavorful and tangy. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
