How to Make Beef Chimichurri Sauce

  1. In a food processor, combine 1 cup packed fresh parsley, 2 tablespoons finely chopped shallot, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1/4 cup red wine vinegar, 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil, and 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  2. Pulse until finely chopped but still slightly textured. Set aside.
  3. Preheat your gas grill to medium-high heat or prepare a charcoal grill with medium-hot coals.
  4. Season both sides of your steak (about 1-1.5 lbs) with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  5. Grill steak for approximately 8 minutes per side, or to your desired doneness. Use a meat thermometer to ensure it reaches your preferred internal temperature.
  6. Remove steak from grill and let it rest in a glass baking dish for 5 minutes, loosely tented with foil.
  7. Spread the chimichurri sauce generously over the steak.
  8. Let the steak rest for an additional 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  9. Slice the steak against the grain and serve immediately, drizzled with remaining chimichurri sauce. Serve with 3 cups of cooked white rice, if desired.
