Preparation

  1. 1

    Finely chop the fresh parsley and mince the garlic cloves.

  2. 2

    In a small bowl, whisk together parsley, garlic, olive oil, red wine vinegar, dried oregano, chilli flakes, and half the salt to make the chimichurri.

  3. 3

    Pat the beef steaks dry and season both sides liberally with the remaining salt and black pepper.

  4. 4

    Heat a heavy cast-iron skillet over high heat until smoking hot.

  5. 5

    Place the steaks in the skillet and sear for 3 minutes per side for medium-rare, or 4 minutes for medium.

  6. 6

    Transfer the steaks to a cutting board and rest for 3 minutes.

  7. 7

    Slice the beef across the grain, drizzle generously with the fresh chimichurri, and serve immediately.

Pecan nuts or dry oregano add a lovely herbal touch.
