Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ribeye or New York strip steaks (1.5 inches thick)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil (for cooking)
  • 1 cup fresh parsley leaves (finely chopped)
  • 3 garlic cloves (minced)
  • 2 tbsp fresh oregano leaves (or 1 tbsp dried oregano)
  • 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil (for chimichurri)
  • 2 tbsp red apple vinegar
  • 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. Remove steaks from the refrigerator and let them sit at room temperature for 30-45 minutes.
  2. Combine parsley, garlic, oregano, olive oil, red apple vinegar, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper in a medium bowl to create the chimichurri sauce. Set aside for flavors to meld.
  3. Pat the steaks dry and season generously with salt and pepper.
  4. Heat a cast-iron skillet or grill pan over high heat for about 3-5 minutes. Add olive oil.
  5. Sear the steaks without moving them for 3-4 minutes until golden-brown; flip and cook another 3-4 minutes for medium-rare.
  6. Transfer steaks to a cutting board and loosely cover with foil. Let rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing against the grain.
  7. Drizzle chimichurri sauce over sliced steak and serve immediately.
