Ingredients
- Bavette steak
- 1 lb
- Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons, divided
- Salt
- 1 teaspoon
- Black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon
- Garlic
- 3 cloves, minced
- Fresh parsley
- 1/2 cup, finely chopped
- Fresh cilantro
- 1/4 cup, finely chopped
- Red wine vinegar
- 2 tablespoons
- Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon
- Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon
- Red pepper flakes
- 1/2 teaspoon, or to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your grill or grill pan to high heat.
- Rub the bavette steak with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, then season generously with salt and black pepper on both sides.
- Grill the steak for 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness. Use a meat thermometer to check for an internal temperature of 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare.
- Once cooked, remove the steak from the grill and allow it to rest for 5 minutes. This will help retain the juices.
- While the steak is resting, prepare the chimichurri sauce. In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic, chopped parsley, chopped cilantro, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, dried oregano, red pepper flakes, and the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Mix well and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Slice the steak against the grain into thin strips and serve with the chimichurri sauce drizzled over the top.
Tips
- For an extra kick, increase the amount of red pepper flakes or add a diced jalapeño to the chimichurri.
- Let the chimichurri sit for at least 15 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
- Pair this dish with roasted vegetables or a fresh arugula salad to complete the meal.
