Ingredients
2 T-bone steaks (about 1 inch thick, 16 oz each)
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped
1/2 cup fresh cilantro, finely chopped
1/4 cup fresh oregano, finely chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 shallot, finely chopped
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Make the chimichurri: In a bowl, combine parsley, cilantro, oregano, garlic, shallot, olive oil, red wine vinegar, red pepper flakes, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Stir well and set aside.
Pat steaks dry with paper towels. Season generously on both sides with 2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon black pepper. Let rest at room temperature for 30 minutes.
Heat a large cast-iron skillet or grill pan over high heat until smoking. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil.
Place steaks in the pan and cook without moving for 4 minutes for medium-rare. Flip and cook another 4 minutes. For medium, cook 5 minutes per side. Use a meat thermometer: 130°F for medium-rare, 140°F for medium.
Transfer steaks to a cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes.
Slice steak off the bone, then cut against the grain into 1/2-inch thick slices. Serve with chimichurri spooned over the top.
Tips
For best results, bring steaks to room temperature before cooking.
Leftover chimichurri can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
Serve with grilled vegetables or a simple green salad.
