Ingredients

For the Steak

2 ribeye or NY strip steaks (1 inch thick or more)
1 tbsp olive oil

Optional: extra drizzle of olive oil
Fresh parsley for garnish

Optional Sides

How to Make Chimichurri Steak

1) Prep the Steak

Pat steaks dry with paper towels — this is essential for a proper sear. Lightly coat both sides with olive oil and season generously with salt and black pepper. Let the steak sit at room temperature for 15–20 minutes before cooking so it cooks more evenly from edge to edge.

2) Grill the Steak

Preheat grill or cast iron pan to high heat. Cook steak 3–4 minutes per side for medium-rare or 4–5 minutes per side for medium. Don't move the steak around — let it sit undisturbed to build a proper crust. Remove from heat and let rest 5 minutes before slicing.

3) Add the Chimichurri

Slice the steak against the grain into thick pieces and arrange on a plate or board. Spoon Chimi Boss Blends Authentic Chimichurri Sauce generously over the top. The warmth of the steak will release the aroma of the garlic, herbs, and olive oil — it's incredible.

4) Serve

Finish with fresh parsley and a second spoonful of chimichurri right before serving so the fresh herbs stay vibrant. Serve immediately with roasted potatoes or grilled vegetables on the side.

Tips for Perfect Chimichurri Steak

• Pat the steak dry before seasoning — moisture is the enemy of a good crust.
- Rest at room temperature before cooking for a more even cook throughout.
- High heat is essential — don't put a cold steak on a cold grill.
- Always rest after cooking — 5 minutes minimum before slicing to keep the juices inside.
- Add chimichurri twice — once right after slicing and again just before serving for maximum freshness and flavor.
- Don't skip the crusty bread — it's perfect for soaking up the extra chimichurri sauce on the plate.

Storage & Reheating

Leftover steak keeps in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet over low heat with a drizzle of olive oil for 2–3 minutes. Cold sliced steak with chimichurri is also excellent served over a salad or in a sandwich straight from the fridge — no reheating needed.
