Chimichurri Steak Tips

• Unique flavor profile highlighting fresh herbs and garlic.
• Quick preparation makes it ideal for weeknight dinners.
• Versatile dish that caters to many dietary preferences.

Ingredients

• 1 lb sirloin steak, cut into bite-sized pieces
• 1 cup fresh parsley, chopped
• 1/2 cup olive oil
• 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
• Salt and pepper to taste

How to Make

To start making your Chimichurri Steak Tips, marinate the steak pieces in a mixture of olive oil, red wine vinegar, minced garlic, salt, and pepper for at least 30 minutes to allow for full flavor infusion. While the steak is marinating, prepare the chimichurri sauce by blending fresh parsley, additional olive oil, red wine vinegar, garlic, and red pepper flakes until you achieve a vibrant green sauce. Once marinated, heat a skillet over medium-high heat, add the steak pieces, and cook until nicely browned and cooked to your desired doneness — about 3-4 minutes each side for medium-rare. Finally, toss the cooked steak tips in the chimichurri sauce, serve immediately and enjoy!

Tips

• For a zesty twist, add citrus zest like lime or lemon to the chimichurri.
• If you’re short on time, marinate for just 10 minutes.
• For more tenderness, let the steak rest after cooking before serving.

Make-Ahead

You can prepare the chimichurri sauce a day in advance. Keep it in an airtight container in the fridge until you’re ready to use it; the flavors will deepen and meld beautifully.

Storing

Leftover steak tips can be stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Keep the chimichurri sauce separate to maintain its fresh flavor.

Freezing

This dish can be frozen, but it’s best to freeze the steak tips without the chimichurri sauce. Store in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator before reheating.

Reheating

Reheat steak tips in a skillet over low heat with a touch of olive oil, stirring gently to prevent them from becoming tough. Add freshly made chimichurri sauce to enhance the flavor!

Serving Suggestions

Serve Chimichurri Steak Tips over a bed of brown rice or quinoa for a hearty meal. They also pair wonderfully with grilled vegetables or fresh greens for a lighter option.
