CHEF’S TIP Make the Chimichurri the day before to allow the flavors to marinate. 1 thick cut 12/16 oz New York Cut Sirloin salt and pepper to taste Preheat oven to 450°F. Add a good splash of olive oil to an ovenproof frying pan. Set to very high heat (cast iron preferred, or steel, don’t use aluminum). Season steak on both sides with salt and pepper. For thicker cuts of meat, use more seasoning. Sear each side until browned. Sear the side fat strip also (approximately 1 to 2 minutes per side and edge). Slide pan into oven for 5 more minutes (on a 1.5 inch thick steak this should get you around medium - medium/rare). Remove from oven and pan. Cover with foil and let rest for 5 minutes. Once steak has rested, cut it crossways into ½ inch slices (serrated knife is best), slather steak with Chimichurri or serve as a side. 1 1 cup 1 cup ½ cup 1 tsp 1 Tbsp 2 Tbsp garlic clove fresh parsley, torn fresh coriander, torn fresh oregano leaves dried chili flakes (to taste) cumin red wine vinegar (any vinegar can be used) In a food processor, add garlic, parsley, coriander, oregano, chili flakes, cumin and vinegar. Slowly add olive oil until you get a chunky pesto like consistency. Don’t over blend, you don’t want it to become a paste. Check seasoning and let sit for 10 minutes.
