Grilled Steak with Chimichurri Sauce

Origin:

This Argentine-inspired dish is all about the balance between rich, juicy steak and the fresh, zesty flavors of Sauce Pantry's Chimichurri. Traditionally served with grilled meats, chimichurri sauce is packed with fresh herbs, garlic, and a touch of acidity, making it the perfect complement to a perfectly cooked steak.

Pro Tips:

• Resting the Steak: Let the steak rest for 5-10 minutes after grilling to allow the juices to redistribute, making it more tender and flavorful.
• Chimichurri Storage: You can make the chimichurri sauce ahead of time and refrigerate it. It actually gets better as the flavors meld together over time.

Things to Watch Out For:

• Overcooking the Steak: Keep an eye on the steak while grilling to avoid overcooking. Use a meat thermometer to get the perfect doneness.
• Balance in the Chimichurri: Taste the chimichurri before serving. If it’s too acidic, add a little more olive oil to mellow it out.

Process:

1. Prepare the Steak:

   • Season the steaks generously with salt and pepper. Let them come to room temperature for about 30 minutes.

2. Grill the Steak:

   • Preheat your grill to high heat. Cook the steaks for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or adjust the time depending on your preferred doneness.
   • Remove the steaks from the grill and let them rest for 5-10 minutes.

3. Serve with Chimichurri:

   • Drizzle Sauce Pantry Chimichurri Sauce over the steaks just before serving, or serve it on the side for dipping.
