Categories     Steak

Time 30m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 new york sirloin steak
2 tablespoons thyme
2 tablespoons rosemary
splash olive oil
salt and pepper
1 garlic clove
1 cup parsley
1 cup coriander
1/2 cup fresh oregano leaves
1 teaspoon dried chili pepper flakes (to taste)
1 tablespoon cumin
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar (any vinegar can be used)

Steps:

  • Chimichurri (must be done in advance):.
  • In a food processor, add garlic, parsley, coriander, oregano, chili flakes, cumin and vinegar.
  • Slowly add olive oil and blend until you get a chunky pesto-like consistency. Don't over-blend - you don't want it to become a paste.
  • Check seasoning and let sit for 10 minutes to allow flavours to relax and combine. The longer you can make this advance the better; even a day before is great.
  • Steak:.
  • Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C).
  • Add a good splash of olive oil to an ovenproof fry pan set to very high heat. Cast iron or steel is preferred; don't use aluminum.
  • Season steak well on both sides with salt and pepper. The thicker your cut is, the heavier you should go on the seasoning.
  • On your stovetop, sear each side of steak until browned. Then sear the edge fat strip (approximately 1 to 2 minutes per side and edge).
  • Slide pan into oven for 5 more minutes. On a 1.5-inch thick steak, this should get you around medium to medium rare.
  • Remove from oven, remove from pan, cover with foil and let rest for 5 minutes. (Chimichurri is served at room temperature.).
  • Once steak has rested, cut crossways into half-inch slices (serrated knife is best). Slather steak with chimichurri or serve on the side.
  • Chef's tip: Chimichurri lasts in the fridge for up to a week. It's also heaven on roasted veggies and chicken.

CHIMICHURRI HANGER STEAK



Chimichurri Hanger Steak image

To be tempted by Argentina is to dream of steak on a grill, and it's no accident that the meat echoes the density of the malbecs from Mendoza. Terroir, or sense of place, helps define character and flavor. Good beef delivers a tight package of sweetness, earthiness and minerality, just like the best of these wines. And what would beef in Argentina be without a slather of chimichurri, the iconic parsley-based green sauce? It is both sharply hot and herbaceously cool, especially with the addition of mint to play up the whiff of eucalyptus in the wines. In this recipe, though, the chimichurri is not really a sauce. It is meant to play a more intimate role, seasoning the steak inside and out. My choice of steak is hanger, which often delivers an appealing funkiness, even when it is not from grass-fed beef like that in Argentina.

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup packed flat-leaf parsley
1/2 jalapeño, seeded
1 garlic clove
2 tablespoons minced mint leaves
6 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1/4 teaspoon crushed red chili flakes
Salt
pepper, to taste
Cayenne, to taste
3 tablespoons panko
1 hanger steak, about 2 pounds

Steps:

  • Mince parsley, jalapeño and garlic and mix in a bowl with mint, oil and vinegar. Season with chili flakes, salt, pepper and cayenne until it has a kick. Reserve 3 tablespoons and add panko to rest.
  • Butterfly steak with a sharp knife, slicing it not quite all the way through, so it opens it like a book. Lightly pound any thicker areas to make meat more uniform. Spread chimichurri-panko mix on one side of cut surfaces, fold other side over and fasten the edge with metal or wooden skewers. Coat outside of steak with reserved chimichurri. Chill 3 hours.
  • Light grill or broiler and, while it heats, allow steak to come to room temperature. Grill or broil steak to medium rare, about 6 to 8 minutes per side depending on heat. Let rest 10 minutes, remove skewers and cut in thick slices.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality flank steak for the best results.
  • Flank steak is a lean cut of beef, so it's important to not overcook it. Otherwise, it will become tough.
  • To ensure even cooking, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the steak.
  • Let the steak rest for a few minutes before slicing it. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat.
  • For the chimichurri sauce, use fresh herbs for the best flavor.
  • If you don't have time to make the chimichurri sauce, you can use a store-bought version.
  • Serve the steak with your favorite sides, such as grilled vegetables, roasted potatoes, or a fresh salad.
