Servings: 4

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cooking Time: 15 minutes

Ingredients:

For the Steak:

  • 2 lbs ribeye or sirloin steak
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

For the Chimichurri Sauce:

  • 1 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup fresh cilantro, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust for spice preference)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Juice of 1 lemon (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Chimichurri Sauce:
    In a bowl, combine the chopped parsley, cilantro, red wine vinegar, olive oil, minced garlic, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine. Adjust seasoning and acidity with lemon juice if desired. Let it sit for at least 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  2. Cook the Steak:
    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Pat the steak dry and rub with olive oil, then season generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
  3. Grill or Sear the Steak:
    Place the steak on the grill or skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, depending on the thickness. Adjust cooking time for your preferred doneness.
  4. Rest the Steak:
    Once cooked, remove the steak from the heat and let it rest for about 5-10 minutes before slicing. This helps retain the juices.
  5. Serve:
    Slice the steak against the grain and serve it topped with the chimichurri sauce. Enjoy with your favorite low-carb sides!
