Ingredients:

0.5x
1x
2x
4x
 
  •   1 lb sirloin or flank steak, cut into bite-sized cubes
  •   Salt & freshly ground black pepper
  •   2 tbsp olive oil, divided
  •   0.5 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped
  •   .25 cup fresh cilantro, finely chopped (optional)
  •   2 cloves garlic, minced
  •   1 tbsp red wine vinegar
  •   Juice of 1/2 lemon (or lime)
  •   .25 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
  •   Salt & pepper to taste for chimichurri

Instructions

  1. Season steak bites generously with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add steak bites in a single layer (don’t overcrowd) and sear for 2–3 minutes per side until browned and cooked to desired doneness. Remove and set aside.
  3. While steak rests, prepare chimichurri: in a bowl, whisk together parsley, cilantro (if using), garlic, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, red pepper flakes, salt, pepper, and remaining olive oil.
  4. Return steak bites to the pan or a serving bowl and drizzle with chimichurri, tossing well to coat all pieces evenly.
  5. Let rest briefly to absorb the herb dressing, then serve warm.

Tips & Variations

  • Capitalize on leftovers by serving chimichurri steak over rice bowls or tacos.
  • Customize with fresh oregano or mint in the chimichurri for herbal complexity.
  • Add grilled vegetables or serve with crusty bread to round it out.
  • For even char, grill steak cubes on skewers over high heat.
