Ingredients
4 boneless ribeye steaks, about 6 ounces each
Salt and pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil
For the Chimichurri Sauce:
1 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, finely chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1/4 cup olive oil
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions:
Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Season the ribeye steaks generously with salt and pepper on both sides. Drizzle each steak with a bit of olive oil and rub to coat evenly.
In a small bowl, combine all the ingredients for the chimichurri sauce: parsley, cilantro, minced garlic, red wine vinegar, olive oil, lemon juice, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine and set aside.
Once the grill is hot, place the steaks on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness is reached. Remove the steaks from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes.
While the steaks are resting, give the chimichurri sauce a final stir.
To serve, spoon a generous amount of chimichurri sauce over each steak. Pair the steak with your favorite vegetables, such as grilled asparagus or roasted Brussels sprouts, to create a balanced meal.
This recipe yields 4 servings, with each serving providing approximately 40g of protein from the ribeye steak. Enjoy your delicious and protein-packed weeknight dinner!
