      Step-by-Step Instructions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
        \n
      1. Make the Chimichurri Sauce:<\/strong>\n
          \n
        • In a medium bowl, combine the finely chopped parsley, cilantro (if using), minced garlic, red wine vinegar, dried oregano, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Whisk in the extra virgin olive oil until well mixed.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Let the sauce sit at room temperature for at least 15\u201320 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Prep and Season the Steak:<\/strong>\n
            \n
          • Remove the steaks from the refrigerator 20\u201330 minutes before cooking to bring them to room temperature. Pat completely dry with paper towels.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • Rub both sides with olive oil and season generously with kosher salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • Grill or Sear to Perfection:<\/strong>\n
              \n
            • Grill Method:<\/strong> Preheat a grill to high heat (400\u00b0F\u2013450\u00b0F). Grill steaks for 4\u20135 minutes per side for medium-rare (internal temperature of 130\u00b0F\u2013135\u00b0F).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • Pan-Sear Method:<\/strong> Heat a cast-iron skillet over high heat with 1 tablespoon of oil. Sear the steak for 3\u20134 minutes per side until a deep golden crust forms.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • Rest, Slice, and Serve:<\/strong>\n
                \n
              • Transfer the cooked steak to a cutting board and let it rest for 5\u201310 minutes so the juices redistribute.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              • Slice the steak thinly against the grain<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              • Arrange the steak slices on a serving platter and spoon the fresh chimichurri sauce generously over the top!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

                Chef’s Tips for Success<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
                  \n
                • Chop by Hand:<\/strong> Avoid using a food processor for the chimichurri sauce. Chopping the fresh herbs by hand yields a far superior texture and prevents the sauce from becoming a muddy puree.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                • Slice Against the Grain:<\/strong> Always cut steak perpendicular to the muscle fibers to ensure every bite is soft and tender.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                • Serving Suggestions:<\/strong> Pair with crispy roasted potatoes, grilled vegetables, corn on the cob, or a fresh green salad.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
