How to Make Chimichurri Grilling Marinade

  1. Combine all ingredients in a food processor or blender until finely chopped but still slightly textured.
  2. Place the steak(s) in a large resealable gallon-sized bag. Pour the chimichurri marinade over the meat, ensuring it's fully coated. Remove excess air from the bag, seal tightly, and refrigerate for 6-7 hours, turning the bag occasionally to distribute the marinade evenly.
  3. Remove the steak from the marinade and discard the marinade. Pat the steak dry with paper towels.
  4. Let the steak sit at room temperature for 20-30 minutes to allow it to come to room temperature before grilling.
  5. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Grill the steak to your desired doneness, about 4-6 minutes per side for medium-rare. Use a meat thermometer to ensure accuracy.
  6. Let the steak rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing against the grain and serving. Enjoy!
