  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: 1 serving

Ingredients

For the Chimichurri:

  • 1 small bunch of parsley
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 2 tbsp vinegar (30 ml)
  • 5 tbsp olive oil (75 ml)
  • ½ tsp dried oregano
  • Pinch of chili flakes (optional)

For the Steak:

  • 10 oz steak (ribeye, sirloin, or filet mignon – 300 g)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (15 ml)
  • Salt and black pepper (to taste)

For the Garlic Frites:

  • 14 oz potatoes (peeled and cut into thin fries – 400 g)
  • 2 garlic cloves (finely grated)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil (15–30 ml)
  • Salt (to taste)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chimichurri: Finely chop the parsley and garlic cloves. In a bowl, combine the chopped parsley and garlic with vinegar, olive oil, dried oregano, and chili flakes if using. Stir well and let the mixture sit for 10–15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
  2. Prepare the Fries: Toss the peeled and thin-cut potatoes with the finely grated garlic, olive oil, and salt until evenly coated. Spread them out on a baking sheet in a single layer to ensure even roasting. Roast in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway through cooking to achieve a crispy, golden exterior.
  3. Cook the Steak: Season the steak generously with salt and black pepper. Rub the steak with olive oil to prevent sticking and aid in browning. Grill or pan-sear the steak over high heat for about 3–4 minutes on each side for medium-rare doneness. Adjust cooking time if you prefer your steak more or less cooked. Once cooked, let the steak rest for a few minutes to retain its juices, then slice it thinly against the grain.
  4. Serve: Arrange the sliced steak on a plate and generously spoon the chimichurri sauce over the top. Serve alongside the hot, crispy garlic frites for a complete and flavorful meal.

Notes

  • For best results, use fresh parsley and garlic for the chimichurri sauce to achieve vibrant flavors.
  • Adjust the chili flakes in the chimichurri to control the heat to your preference.
  • Make sure to spread the fries in a single layer on the baking sheet to ensure they roast evenly and get crispy.
  • Allow the steak to rest after cooking to keep it juicy and tender.
  • You can substitute red wine vinegar with white vinegar or lemon juice in the chimichurri if desired.
