Ingredients
1 1/2 lbs sirloin steak, about 1 inch thick
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 tbsp olive oil
1 cup fresh parsley leaves, finely chopped
1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves, finely chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 shallot, finely chopped
2 tbsp red wine vinegar
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
1/2 tsp dried oregano
Instructions
Remove steak from refrigerator 30 minutes before grilling. Pat dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and pepper. Drizzle with 1 tbsp olive oil.
Preheat grill to high heat (450-500°F).
Grill steak for 4-6 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness. Use a meat thermometer: 130°F for medium-rare, 140°F for medium.
Transfer steak to a cutting board, tent with foil, and let rest for 5-10 minutes.
Meanwhile, make chimichurri: In a bowl, combine parsley, cilantro, garlic, shallot, red wine vinegar, 1/2 cup olive oil, red pepper flakes, and oregano. Stir well and season with salt to taste.
Slice steak against the grain into 1/2-inch thick slices. Serve with chimichurri spooned over the top.
Tips
For best flavor, let the chimichurri sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before serving.
Leftover chimichurri can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 1 week; bring to room temperature before using.
Serve with grilled vegetables or a simple green salad.
