Ingredients:

For the Steak:

2 ribeye or sirloin steaks (about 1 inch thick)

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 cloves garlic, minced

Salt and pepper to taste

For the Chimichurri Sauce:

1 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped

3 cloves garlic, minced

1/2 cup red wine vinegar

1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil

2 tablespoons fresh oregano, finely chopped

1 tablespoon red pepper drops (conform to taste)

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Chimichurri Sauce:

In a bowl, combine the finely chopped parsley, minced garlic, red wine vinegar, and olive oil.

Add the chopped oregano and red pepper flakes for a little heat.

Season with salt and pepper as indicated by your taste.

Stir well and let the sauce sit for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. You can make it in advance for even better results.

2. Grill the Steak:

Preheat your grill to high heat, or use a grill pan on the stovetop.

Rub the steaks with olive oil and minced garlic. Season generously with salt and pepper.

Place the steaks on the hot grill. For medium-rare, grill for about 4-5 minutes per side. Adjust the time for your preferred level of doneness.

Eliminate the steaks from the barbecue and let them rest for a couple of moments.

3. Serve:

Slice the grilled steaks against the grain into thin strips.

Sprinkle the chimichurri sauce liberally over the steak cuts.

Serve hot, with your choice of side dishes like roasted vegetables, potatoes, or a fresh green salad.
