Argentinian Grilled Steak with Zesty Red Chimichurri Sauce
Ingredients
  • 1 bunch chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 1 tomato, chopped
  • 1/2 red bell pepper, seeded and diced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon dried oregano
  • 1 tablespoon paprika
  • 1 tablespoon coarse salt
  • 1 teaspoon crumbled bay leaf
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 pinch red chile flakes, or to taste
  • 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 4 sirloin steaks, 1-inch thick
  • 2 sweet onions, chopped
  • 1 bunch fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1/2 cup white wine vinegar
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano
  • 1 tablespoon ground cumin
Instructions
1
Combine the ingredients of parsley, onion, tomato, bell pepper, garlic, oregano, paprika, salt, bay leaf, black pepper, and chile flakes in a large bowl. Let it rest for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
2
Combine vinegar and water in a separate bowl, allowing it to sit for another 30 minutes. This step is crucial in developing the flavors of the chimichurri sauce.
3
Combine olive oil into the mixture, stirring until it's fully incorporated. Transfer the chimichurri to a glass container with a lid, ensuring that the liquid covers the ingredients. If not, add an equal amount of water, red wine vinegar, and oil to achieve the desired consistency. Refrigerate for 6 hours or up to 2 days, allowing the flavors to mature.
4
Pierce the steaks all over with a fork, creating small holes for the marinade to penetrate. Mix sweet onions, cilantro, white wine vinegar, olive oil, garlic, thyme, oregano, and cumin together in a bowl to create the beef marinade.
5
Place the steaks into the marinade, covering them completely. Refrigerate for 6 hours or overnight to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat.
6
Preheat the outdoor grill to high heat, lightly oiling the grate to prevent sticking. Sear the steaks on the preheated grill for 2 minutes on each side, then reduce the heat to medium and continue grilling until they reach your desired level of doneness.
7
Serve the grilled steaks with a generous helping of chimichurri sauce.
