Ingredients

Bavette steak

2 (about 1.5 lbs total)

Salt

to taste

Black pepper

to taste

Red pepper flakes

1/2 teaspoon

Lemon juice

2 tablespoons

Red wine vinegar

2 tablespoons

Fresh cilantro

1/2 cup, chopped

Fresh parsley

1/2 cup, chopped

Garlic

4 cloves, minced

Olive oil

1/2 cup

Instructions

1. Preheat your grill or grill pan over high heat until it's sizzling hot.
2. Season the bavette steaks generously with salt, black pepper, and half of the minced garlic, ensuring they are well-coated.
3. Drizzle olive oil over the steaks, then rub it in to coat evenly, enhancing the flavor and preventing sticking.
4. Grill the steaks for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, adjusting the cooking time according to your preferred doneness (use a meat thermometer for accuracy).
5. While the steaks are cooking, prepare the chimichurri sauce: In a bowl, combine the chopped parsley, chopped cilantro, the remaining minced garlic, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Slowly whisk in the olive oil until well blended.
6. Once the steaks are done, remove them from the grill and let them rest for 5-10 minutes to retain their juices.
7. Slice the bavette steaks against the grain into thin strips for maximum tenderness.
8. Serve the sliced bavette steak drizzled with a generous amount of chimichurri sauce, and enjoy the burst of flavors!
