Elevate your grilling game with this mouthwatering ribeye steak, beautifully paired with a fresh, tangy chimichurri sauce that’ll tantalize your taste buds!
Ingredients:
– 1 inch thick ribeye steaks, 2 pieces
– 2 tablespoons olive oil (for the chimichurri sauce)
– Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
– 1 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped
– 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, finely chopped (optional)
– 3 garlic cloves, minced
– 1/3 cup olive oil (for the steak)
– 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
– 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)
Instructions:
1. Start by preparing your zesty chimichurri sauce. In a mixing bowl, combine the finely chopped parsley, optional cilantro, minced garlic, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, apple cider vinegar, crushed red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Stir well until everything is evenly mixed and set aside for at least 15 minutes. This will help all the flavors blend beautifully.
2. While your chimichurri is marinating, it’s time to season your ribeye steaks. Lightly coat each steak with 1/3 cup of olive oil, ensuring both sides are covered. Generously sprinkle salt and freshly ground black pepper over each side. Let the seasoned steaks sit at room temperature for 20-30 minutes to enhance their flavor and to ensure even cooking.
3. Preheat your grill or grill pan to high heat. To prevent sticking, lightly grease the grill grates with a bit of oil.
4. Now, it’s time to grill the steaks! Place the ribeye steaks on the hot grill and cook for approximately 4-5 minutes on each side for a medium-rare finish (internal temperature of 130°F). Adjust the grilling time to achieve your preferred level of doneness.
5. Once grilled to perfection, remove the steaks from the grill and let them rest for about 5 minutes. This resting period allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, ensuring every bite is succulent.
6. When ready to serve, slice the ribeye steaks into thick pieces and generously drizzle your zesty chimichurri sauce over the top. Pair this delightful dish with roasted potatoes, grilled vegetables, or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
