# What You'll Need:
→ Ribeye Steaks
01 -
2 ribeye steaks (8-12 ounces each, 1-1½ inches thick)
02 -
2 tablespoons olive oil
03 -
Salt and pepper to taste
→ Chimichurri Sauce
04 -
1 cup packed fresh flat leaf parsley
05 -
1 cup packed fresh cilantro
06 -
½ cup packed fresh oregano
07 -
4 cloves garlic, minced
08 -
½ cup extra virgin olive oil
09 -
¼ cup red wine vinegar
10 -
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
11 -
½ teaspoon salt
12 -
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
13 -
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
# Step-by-Step Directions:
01 -
In a food processor or blender, combine the parsley, cilantro, oregano, and garlic. Pulse until finely chopped. Add the olive oil, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Pulse until well combined and herbs are finely chopped. Set aside.
02 -
Remove the steaks from the refrigerator and let them sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before grilling. Pat the steaks dry with paper towels and rub both sides with olive oil. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
03 -
Preheat your grill to high heat (about 450°F / 230°C). Place the steaks on the preheated grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare (internal temperature of 135°F / 57°C), or until they reach your desired level of doneness.
04 -
Remove the steaks from the grill and let them rest for about 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute. Slice the ribeye steaks against the grain, or serve them whole. Drizzle a generous amount of chimichurri sauce over the steaks, or serve the sauce on the side for dipping.
# Helpful Notes:
01 -
If you don't have fresh oregano on hand, you can substitute it with 2-3 teaspoons of dried oregano.
02 -
Cooking times will vary depending on the thickness of your steaks. For best results, use a meat thermometer to ensure your steaks are cooked to your desired level of doneness.
03 -
The chimichurri sauce can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for up to one week. The flavors will deepen and meld together over time.
04 -
Maintaining a high grill temperature is crucial for achieving that perfect sear on your steaks. Be sure to preheat your grill adequately before starting.
