How to Make Mexican Steak With Chimichurri Sauce

  1. In a food processor, combine minced garlic, parsley, cilantro, oregano, olive oil, red wine vinegar, lime juice, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Blend until smooth.
  2. Taste the chimichurri sauce and adjust seasonings as needed. Add more red pepper flakes for extra heat.
  3. Score each steak 1/8 to 1/4-inch deep on both sides. This helps the marinade penetrate and creates a nice sear.
  4. Reserve 2/3 cup of the chimichurri sauce. Place the steaks in a large resealable plastic bag with the remaining marinade.
  5. Seal the bag, ensuring all air is removed, and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes (or up to 4 hours for maximum flavor).
  6. Preheat your grill to high heat. Grill the steaks for 5-7 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer depending on your desired doneness. Use a meat thermometer to ensure accuracy.
  7. Remove the steaks from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender steak.
  8. Slice the steaks diagonally against the grain.
  9. Serve immediately, drizzled generously with the reserved chimichurri sauce. Pair with mashed potatoes and a fresh salad for a complete meal.
