Ingredients
For the chimichurri sauce:
- 1 cup fresh flat leaf parsley packed
- 1 cup fresh cilantro packed
- 1/2 cup fresh oregano packed
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice freshly squeezed
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
For the rib-eyes:
- 2 (8-12-ounce 1-1 1/2-inch-thick) rib-eye steaks
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- salt to taste
- pepper to taste
Directions
- In a food processor or blender, add the parsley, the cilantro, the oregano, and the garlic, cover, and pulse until finely chopped.
- Add 1/2 cup of the extra-virgin olive oil, the red wine vinegar, the lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon of the salt, 1/4 teaspoon of the black pepper, and the red pepper flakes to the herb mixture in the processor, cover, and pulse again until well-combined. Set the chimichurri aside.
- Allow the steaks to sit at room temperature before grilling, about 30 minutes.
- Preheat the grill to high heat, about 450 degrees F.
- Pat the steaks dry with paper towels.
- Rub both sides of the steaks with the remaining olive oil and season them generously with the extra salt and the extra pepper.
- Place the steaks on the hot grill and cook, flipping them once, until they reach an internal temperature of at least 130 degrees F for medium-rare, about 4-5 minutes per side. Adjust the cooking time according to the thickness of the steaks and your preferred doneness.
- Transfer the steaks from the grill to a clean plate and let them rest until they reach an internal temperature of 135 degrees F for medium-rare doneness, about 5 minutes.
- Optionally, slice the steaks against the grain.
- Serve the steaks with the chimichurri.
