Ingredients
- 2 lbs sirloin steak

- 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
- Season the sirloin steak with salt and pepper.
- Grill the steak for 6-8 minutes per side, or until desired doneness is reached.
- While the steak is grilling, prepare the chimichurri sauce. In a food processor, combine parsley, jalapeño pepper, garlic, red wine vinegar, olive oil, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Process until well combined but still slightly chunky.
- Once the steak is cooked, let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve the sliced steak with a generous dollop of chimichurri sauce on top.
Tips
- For a milder version, use a green bell pepper instead of jalapeño pepper in the chimichurri sauce.
- Make sure to let the steak rest before slicing to allow the juices to redistribute for a more tender and flavorful result.
- This chimichurri sauce also pairs well with grilled chicken, pork, and seafood.
