Instructions

Prepare the Chimichurri Sauce

In a medium bowl, combine parsley, garlic, olive oil, red wine vinegar, oregano, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Stir well and let it sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Prepare the Steaks

Pat the ribeye steaks dry with paper towels. Brush them with olive oil and season generously with salt and black pepper on both sides.

Astuce de chef : Allow the steaks to come to room temperature before grilling for even cooking.

Grill the Steaks

Preheat your grill to high heat. Place the steaks on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until they reach your desired level of doneness.

Astuce de chef : Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature: 130°F for medium-rare, 140°F for medium.

Rest and Serve

Remove the steaks from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes. Slice against the grain and serve with a generous drizzle of chimichurri sauce.

Astuce de chef : Resting the steak allows the juices to redistribute, keeping your steak tender and juicy.
