1. Make the Chimichurri Sauce

• Step 1: Start by chopping up your fresh parsley and cilantro. The key here is to get a fine chop—big chunks of herb can be overwhelming, so aim for smaller, more delicate pieces.
• Step 2: Mince the garlic and finely chop the red onion. These add a delicious depth of flavor to the sauce.
• Step 3: In a small bowl, combine the parsley, cilantro, garlic, and onion. Add in the red wine vinegar, olive oil, oregano, and red pepper flakes. Mix everything together until well combined.
• Step 4: Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning. Add salt, black pepper, or more red pepper flakes if you like it spicier. Set it aside to let the flavors meld together while you grill your steak.

2. Prepare the Steak

• Step 1: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. You want a nice, hot surface to get that perfect sear on your steak.
• Step 2: Brush each steak with a light coating of olive oil. This helps to prevent sticking and ensures that beautiful, crispy sear.
• Step 3: Season both sides of the steaks generously with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. These simple seasonings let the natural flavor of the steak shine through.
• Step 4: Place the steaks on the grill. Depending on the thickness of your steak, you’ll want to cook it for about 4-6 minutes per side for medium-rare, 6-8 minutes for medium, or longer if you prefer a well-done steak.

3. Grill the Steaks

• Step 1: Grill the steaks, flipping them once to ensure even cooking. For the perfect sear, avoid moving the steaks too much while they cook.
• Step 2: Check the doneness by using a meat thermometer (120°F for rare, 130°F for medium-rare, 140°F for medium). If you don’t have a thermometer, use the finger test method: gently press the center of the steak with your finger and compare its firmness to the feel of your palm for doneness.
• Step 3: Once your steaks are cooked to your desired doneness, remove them from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring a juicy, tender steak.

4. Serve and Enjoy!

• Step 1: Slice your steak against the grain. This helps ensure that each bite is tender and easy to chew.
• Step 2: Spoon the chimichurri sauce over the steak. The vibrant green sauce will contrast beautifully with the rich, brown seared steak. It’s like a flavor match made in heaven.
• Step 3: Serve immediately and enjoy the delicious combination of juicy steak and tangy chimichurri.
