Level: Easy
Serves: 2
Ingredients
- ¾ ounces, weight fresh parsley
- ⅜ ounces, weight Fresh basilic
- ⅜ ounces, weight Fresh mint
- ⅜ ounces, weight fresh oregano
- 1 clove Garlic, peeled
- 1 pinch Red pepper flakes
- ½ teaspoon Salt
- ½ teaspoon Pepper
- 1 tbsp Lemon juice
- 1 tbsp Red wine vinegar
- 5 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 1-inch sirloin steak portions
- 1 tbsp Light oil with a high smoke point
- Additional salt and pepper for seasoning
Preparation
– Put your parsley, basil, mint, oregano, garlic, red pepper flakes, pepper, salt, lemon juice, red wine vinegar and olive oil in a blender. Blend until you have a sauce that is almost pureed, but still has some texture.
– Make sure the steaks are patted dry. Season them well on both sides with salt and pepper.
– Preheat a skillet over high heat for 1-2 minutes, make it hot enough before you start cooking the steak (be sure to turn on your kitchen fans).
– Once the pan is hot, add your oil then gently place your steaks in the pan. Cook the steak for about 4 minutes on each side for medium-rare doneness.
– Just before removing your steaks from the pan, grab your steak with a pair of tongs. Then hold the fatty side of the steak down and just spend half a minute searing that fat.
– Transfer the steaks to a hot board or plate and let them rest for a few minutes. You can serve the steak whole or slice it like I did, but be sure not to slice it too thin. Drizzle some Chimichurri sauce on top and serve.
