Instructions
- Preheat your grill on high heat.
- Drizzle the top blade steaks with olive oil, then rub them with the minced garlic and season generously with salt and pepper.
- Place the steaks on the grill and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness.
- While the steaks are grilling, prepare the chimichurri sauce. Combine the chopped parsley, cilantro, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, red pepper flakes, oregano, 1 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper, and 1/2 cup of olive oil in a food processor.
- Pulse the chimichurri ingredients until well combined but still a bit chunky, to retain the fresh texture of the herbs.
- Once the steaks are done, remove them from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the steak.
- Serve the top blade steaks hot, with a generous spoonful of the chimichurri sauce on top, and extra on the side. Enjoy your culinary trip to Argentina!
Tips
- For a spicy kick, increase the amount of red pepper flakes in the chimichurri sauce.
- If you prefer your steak well done, increase the grilling time to 7-8 minutes per side.
