Description
A flavorful and tender grilled ribeye steak topped with a vibrant chimichurri sauce, perfect for family gatherings and barbecues.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 Ribeye steaks (USDA Choice or Prime)
- 1 cup fresh parsley
- 1/2 cup fresh cilantro
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
- 1 cup olive oil
- Sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper
Instructions
- Prep the steak: Take your ribeye out of the fridge about 30-60 minutes before cooking, allowing it to come to room temperature. Pat it dry with a paper towel, and generously season with salt and pepper on all sides.
- Make the chimichurri sauce: In a food processor, combine parsley, cilantro, garlic, red pepper flakes, red wine vinegar, and olive oil. Pulse until well combined but still slightly chunky. Adjust seasoning as needed.
- Preheat the grill: Fire up the grill and get it nice and hot, aiming for a temperature around 450°F for the perfect sear.
- Grill the steak: Place the steak on the hottest part of the grill and cook for 4-5 minutes on one side without moving it. Flip it only once, and grill for another 3-4 minutes for medium-rare. Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature; aim for 130-135°F.
- Rest and serve: Once cooked to perfection, transfer the steak to a plate and cover it with foil. Let it rest for at least 10 minutes—this helps the juices redistribute. Slice against the grain and spoon the chimichurri sauce generously over the top.
- Enjoy: Serve with your favorite sides—perhaps grilled vegetables or a simple salad for a fulfilling meal.
Notes
Letting the steak rest after grilling is crucial for tenderness. Pair with grilled vegetables or a side salad for a balanced meal.
