ARGENTINIAN STEAK WITH CHIMICHURRI



Argentinian Steak With Chimichurri image

Looking for the perfect recipe for entertaining summer guests? This delicious, juicy steak recipe from Chef Mike Ward is a flavourful focal point for any occasion.

Provided by maryjjohnson34

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.

Tips:

  • To ensure the best flavor, use high-quality flank steak or skirt steak for this recipe.
  • Make sure to slice the steak against the grain to ensure tenderness.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the steak. This will prevent it from cooking evenly.
  • Allow the steak to rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving. 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 fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but reduce the amount you use by half.
  • Serve the steak with your favorite sides, such as roasted potatoes, grilled vegetables, or a salad.

Conclusion:

This steak gaucho style with Argentinean chimichurri sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The steak is cooked to perfection and the chimichurri sauce adds a flavorful kick. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
