Ingredients
For the Steak
- 10 oz steak ribeye, sirloin, or filet mignon
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- Salt and black pepper to taste
For the Chimichurri Sauce
- 1 small bunch of parsley
- 2-3 garlic cloves
- 2 Tbsp red wine vinegar
- 5 Tbsp olive oil
- ½ tsp dried oregano
- Pinch of chili flakes optional
For the Garlic Fries
- 14 oz potatoes peeled and cut into thin wedges
- 2 garlic cloves finely grated
- 1-2 Tbsp olive oil
- Salt to taste
Instructions
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.
