How to Make Chimichurri Steak and Garlic Fries

Make the Chimichurri

• Finely chop parsley and garlic. In a bowl, combine with red wine vinegar, olive oil, oregano, and chili flakes (if using). Stir and let sit for 10–15 minutes to allow flavors to meld.

Prepare the Fries

• Toss the thin-cut potatoes with grated garlic, olive oil, and salt. Spread on a baking sheet in a single layer and roast at 400°F for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until crispy and golden.

Cook the Steak

• Season steak with salt and pepper, then rub with olive oil. Grill or pan-sear over high heat to your desired doneness (about 3–4 minutes per side for medium-rare). Let rest for a few minutes, then slice thinly.

Serve

• Plate the sliced steak and spoon chimichurri over the top. Serve alongside the hot garlic fries.
