Ingredients

small bunch parsley roughly chopped
1/2 tsp oregano fresh or dried
2 garlic cloves
1 shallot chopped
1/2 tsp chilli flakes
2 1/2 tbsp olive oil
juice 1/2 lemon
2 tsp red wine vinegar
2 x 125g rib-eye or sirloin steaks
fries and salad to serve

Method

Prepare the chimichurri by processing the parsley, oregano, garlic, shallot and chilli flakes in a food processor or mincing them finely by hand. Incorporate 2 tbsp of the olive oil along with the lemon juice, vinegar and some seasoning, then pulse until a saucy texture forms.
Massage the remaining oil and a little seasoning into the steaks. Place a griddle or frying pan on the heat and cook the steaks for 2-3 mins on each side until they reach your desired doneness. Allow them to rest for a few mins, then drizzle with the sauce and accompany with fries and salad.
