Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ribeye steak (12–16 oz / 340–450 g), well-marbled
  • Salt (preferably kosher or sea salt) – to season generously
  • Freshly ground black pepper – to taste
  • Olive oil (extra virgin) – for brushing
  • 1 cup fresh parsley leaves, packed (flat-leaf preferred)
  • 1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves (optional)
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 small shallot, finely chopped
  • 1/3 cup red wine vinegar
  • 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper – to taste
  • Juice of half a lemon

Instructions

  1. Remove the ribeye from the fridge about 30 minutes before cooking to bring it to room temperature. Pat dry with a paper towel, brush lightly with olive oil, and season generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
  2. Combine parsley, cilantro (if using), garlic, shallot, red wine vinegar, red pepper flakes, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Slowly whisk in olive oil until the sauce is well blended. Adjust seasoning to taste.
  3. Preheat grill to medium-high heat (about 450°F / 230°C). Clean and oil the grates.
  4. Place the ribeye on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare (internal temp around 130°F / 54°C). Adjust time based on thickness and preferred doneness. Flip once using tongs.
  5. Transfer steak to a plate and loosely tent with foil. Let rest for 5-10 minutes to redistribute juices.
  6. Slice steak against the grain and spoon over a generous amount of chimichurri sauce before serving.

Notes

Bring steak to room temperature before grilling for even cooking. Rest steak after grilling to keep it juicy. Adjust chimichurri heat with red pepper flakes. Sauce can be made ahead and kept refrigerated for up to a week. If no grill, use a cast-iron skillet and finish in oven.
