Grilled Steak with Chimichurri

No, Chimichurri isn’t some mythological creature that no ones seems to be able to photograph

In fact, it’s a tasty sauce with Argentinian origins that happens to go great with grilled meat, chicken and fish

Although there are variations, traditionally the main staples are parsley, garlic, chili flakes, vinegar and olive oil

We are adding a little honey and cumin to ours and we are serving this with steak

We have a 2 pound london broil

  We like to score the meat on both sides to allow the marinade to really penetrate

Try not to cut to deeply

Now for a little marinade

You will need 1/2 cup of olive oil, 2 grated garlic cloves, 2 tablespoons of paprika and 1  teaspoon each of kosher salt and ground black pepper

Add the ingredients to a bowl

Whisk until combined

Place the meat in a resealable baggie, pour in the marinade

Force all the air out of the bag, seal and rub the meat around to evenly coat

Refrigerate for an hour, or overnight

 

Let’s work on the Chimichurri so we can refrigerate it, which will help the flavors to meld

We will need 1 packed cup of fresh parsley, 1/2 cup of extra virgin olive oil, 1/3 cup of apple cider vinegar, 1 tablespoon of honey (more if needed), 2 garlic cloves, 1 teaspoon each of kosher salt and ground black pepper and 1/2 teaspoon each of cumin and crushed red pepper flakes

Place all of these ingredients into a food processor and give it a whirl

Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed

I like to add in additional chopped fresh parsley for more body in the Chimichurri

Place in the refrigerator while you grill the meat to allow the flavors to meld

Take the meat out and let it rest on the counter for at least 15 minutes before grilling

I’m grilling this at around 350 F over direct heat

Place the meat on the grill at an angle and cook for 5 minutes

Turn (not flip) and cook another 4 minutes

Flip the meat, cook 4 minutes, then turn and cook about 3 minutes more or until an instant read thermometer registers 150 F for medium (the meat will cook a few degrees more as it rests)

Remove from the heat and let rest at least 10 minutes before slicing

Once rested, slice the meat against the grain
