📋Quick Recipe Card

🛒Ingredients

For the Steak:

• 2 ribeye or New York strip steaks (about 1–1.5 inches thick)
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 2 tbsp Blazing Star Beef Rub
• Salt and black pepper to taste

For the Chimichurri Sauce:

• ½ cup fresh parsley, finely chopped
• ¼ cup fresh cilantro, finely chopped (optional for depth)
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• ½ cup olive oil
• 2 tbsp red wine vinegar
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• 1 tsp Chimichurri Sauce (for extra punch)
• ½ tsp crushed red pepper flakes
• Salt and pepper to taste

🔥Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prep the Steak:
   Pat the steaks dry with paper towels. Brush lightly with olive oil and season generously with Blazing Star Beef Rub, salt, and pepper. Let rest at room temperature for 20–30 minutes.
2. Make the Chimichurri:
   In a small bowl, combine parsley, cilantro, garlic, olive oil, vinegar, lemon juice, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Stir well and let it sit to allow flavors to blend.
3. Preheat the Grill or Pan:
   Heat your grill or cast-iron skillet to high heat (about 450°F–500°F).
4. Cook the Steaks:
   Sear steaks for 3–4 minutes per side for medium-rare (adjust for desired doneness). Use a meat thermometer, 130°F for medium-rare, 140°F for medium.
5. Rest the Meat:
   Remove steaks from heat and rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing. This locks in all those juices.
6. Serve & Finish:
   Slice steak against the grain, drizzle generously with chimichurri, and serve with your favorite sides.

💡Pro Tips

• Let the steak rest before cutting to prevent juices from running out.
• Add a spoon of Chimichurri Sauce directly to your fresh mix for an instant flavor boost.
• For extra crust, finish your steak with a quick reverse sear method over charcoal or cast iron.
• Don’t overmix the chimichurri, a little texture makes it perfect.
