Ingredients

Scale

For the Steak

  • 11.5 pounds steak (such as flank, sirloin, or ribeye)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

For the Chimichurri Sauce

  • 1 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chimichurri Sauce: In a bowl, combine finely chopped parsley, minced garlic, olive oil, and red wine vinegar. Season with salt and black pepper to taste, then stir well to blend all ingredients. Set aside to let flavors meld.
  2. Season the Steak: Pat the steak dry and season both sides generously with salt and pepper.
  3. Grill the Steak: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Place the steak on the grill and cook for about 4-6 minutes per side depending on thickness and desired doneness (medium-rare is recommended). Use tongs to flip once during cooking.
  4. Rest the Steak: Remove the steak from the grill and let it rest on a cutting board for 5-10 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute.
  5. Serve: Slice the steak against the grain and spoon the prepared chimichurri sauce generously over the top. Enjoy immediately.

Notes

  • Choose a flavorful cut of steak such as flank, sirloin, or ribeye for best results.
  • Letting the chimichurri sauce sit for at least 30 minutes before serving helps deepen the flavors.
  • The chimichurri can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Adjust garlic and vinegar quantities according to personal taste preferences.
  • Resting the steak after grilling is essential to keep it juicy and tender.
