Chef's Pro-Tips
- Mise en Place: Measure and prep all ingredients before you turn on the stove. This recipe moves quickly, and having everything ready prevents burning.
- Fresh is Best: Whenever possible, use freshly squeezed lemon juice, whole garlic cloves, and fresh herbs instead of dried/jarred versions. The flavor difference is huge!
- Don't Crowd the Pan: Leave room between ingredients. If the pan is overloaded, the moisture will steam the food instead of browning it.

Step-by-Step Instructions
Whip up Chimichurri
In a bowl, combine finely chopped parsley, minced garlic, red wine vinegar, olive oil, dried oregano, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Whisk together and let sit for 20 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
Grill the Steak
Season the steak generously with coarse salt and black pepper. Place on a hot preheated grill (or cast iron skillet). Cook for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, until internal temp reaches 130°F (55°C).
Rest and Slice
Transfer the steak to a board and let rest for 7-10 minutes to lock in the juices. Slice thinly against the grain, arrange on a plate, and spoon the fresh chimichurri generously over the top.
