Best Chimichurri Sauce For Steak Food

STEAKS WITH CHIMICHURRI

Steps:

• First, make the chimichurri by placing the herbs and garlic into a food processor (or blender). Add the vinegar, red pepper flakes, salt and black pepper to taste.
• Pulse it a few times then continue pulsing while adding 3/4 cup of the olive oil. Keep pulsing until the mixture is pulverized, leaving just a little texture from the herbs. Transfer to a bowl, then cover and refrigerate until you need it (you can make it up to 1 day ahead, though it's best to make it the same day).
• Season the steak on both sides with salt and pepper. Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat and add the butter and remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil. When it's melted and starting to brown, add a steak. Fry until medium rare, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Remove the steak and let it rest for 3 minutes. (If you're frying more steaks, just add a little more butter and oil to the pan as needed.)
• Slice the steak. Serve it with the chimichurri on the side.

STEAK GAUCHO-STYLE WITH ARGENTINIAN CHIMICHURRI SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat a grill.
• Place all chimichurri sauce ingredients in a blender or food processor and pulse until well chopped, but not pureed. Reserve.
• Dissolve cayenne pepper and salt in 1 cup hot water. Transfer to a squeeze container.
• Place the steak directly over a hot grill, baste with the chimichurri grilling sauce, and grill until the outer portion of the meat reaches the desired degree of doneness. Remove the steak from the grill and slice long strips from the outer edges of the steak. Instruct guests to pick up a steak slice from the cutting board with their fingers, place it on a slice of baguette, and enjoy. Return the remaining steak to the grill, baste, and grill until more of the steak is cooked. Remove and repeat the slicing and serving procedure until steak is consumed. For extra spicy steak, baste 2 or 3 additional times with the cayenne pepper mixture during grilling process. Spoon chimichurri sauce over steak. (Also brilliant on any grilled fish or chicken)

FLANK STEAK WITH CHIMICHURRI SAUCE

Steps:

• Make the chimichurri sauce: Add all the sauce ingredients to a small food processor. Pulse 4 to 6 times, until the herbs are roughly chopped and chunky. Transfer to a serving bowl.
• Cook the steak: Pat the flank steak dry with a paper towel. Season generously with salt and a pinch of ground pepper. Place in a medium bowl and drizzle with the olive oil and soy sauce. Add the onion to the bowl and give it all a massage until combined.
• Heat a grill to high for at least 5 minutes. If using a charcoal or gas grill, wipe the grill grates with a lightly oiled paper towel right before cooking to clean off any char and debris. This will give you a great grill mark and help keep the beef from sticking. Alternatively, place a grill pan over high heat and preheat for at least 5 minutes. Rub a little oil on the pan or spray with nonstick cooking spray.
• Grill the steak for about 3 minutes, or until well browned on one side. Turn the steak over and add the onion to the grill. Cook for another 2 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 125 degrees F (52 degrees C) for medium-rare, or to your desired doneness (see Cook's Note). You just want the onions slightly charred but still crunchy. Transfer the steak and onions to a cutting board and allow to rest, tented with foil, for 5 minutes. Slice the steak against the grain into 1-inch (2.5-cm) planks. Serve the steak over the onions and drizzle with the chimichurri sauce.
