Perfectly Grilled Steak

Ingredients

Steak

2 ribeye or sirloin steaks (about 1 inch thick)

Olive oil

2 tablespoons

Salt

1 teaspoon

Black pepper

1/2 teaspoon

Paprika

1 teaspoon

Garlic powder

1 teaspoon

Fresh parsley

1/4 cup, chopped (for chimichurri)

Fresh oregano

1 tablespoon, chopped (for chimichurri)

Red wine vinegar

2 tablespoons (for chimichurri)

Red pepper flakes

1/4 teaspoon (for chimichurri)

Garlic

2 cloves, minced (for chimichurri)

Olive oil

1/2 cup (for chimichurri)

Instructions

1. Preheat the grill to high heat (about 450°F to 500°F).
2. In a small bowl, combine the salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder. Mix well.
3. Brush both sides of the steaks with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, then generously season with the spice mixture, pressing it onto the meat.
4. For the chimichurri sauce, combine the chopped parsley, oregano, minced garlic, red wine vinegar, red pepper flakes, and 1/2 cup of olive oil in a bowl. Mix well and set aside.
5. Place the seasoned steaks on the preheated grill. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, adjusting the time according to your desired doneness (use a meat thermometer for accuracy: 130°F for medium-rare, 140°F for medium).
6. Once cooked, remove the steaks from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
7. Slice the steaks against the grain and serve hot with a generous drizzle of chimichurri sauce on top.
