Steak Chimichurri

Chimichurri:
 1/2 cup olive oil
 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
 1/2 cup finely chopped parsley
 4 cloves garlic finely chopped or minced
 2 small red chilies or 1 red chili, deseeded and finely chopped (about 1 tablespoon finely chopped chili)
 3/4 teaspoon dried oregano
 1/2 - 1 level teaspoon coarse salt (adjust to your tastes)
 1/2 teaspoon pepper (adjust to your tastes)
Steaks:
 4 steaks of choice (Rib eye, T-Bone or Strip)
 Salt to season
 Olive oil for brushing
1

Mix all ingredients together in a bowl. Allow to sit for 5-10 minutes to release all of the flavours into the oil before using. (Chimichurri can be prepared and refrigerated for 24 hours before serving.) Makes 1 cup.

3

Season steaks with salt and brush with olive oil. Grill (or pan fry in a hot cast iron skillet or pan), over medium-high heat.

5

Cook for 2-3 minutes each side for medium-rare; 3-4 minutes each side for medium; or 4-5 minutes each side for well done, depending on thickness.* Transfer steaks to a tray and let rest for 5 minutes.

7

Serve chimichurri on the side in a dip bowl with steaks (about 2-3 tablespoons of chimichurri per person). Allow your guests to either dip their steaks in chimichurri or pour it over steaks.
