olive oil

CHIMICHURRI

paprika 2 tsp
ground cumin 1 tsp
garlic 2 cloves, finely chopped
red onion ½, finely chopped
red wine vinegar 2 tbsp
coriander 1 bunch, chopped

Method

Step 1

Heat a barbecue or chargrill (griddle) pan until hot. Mix the chimichurri ingredients, adding enough olive oil to make the mixture spoonable, and season with salt. Brush the steaks with a little olive oil and season well. Cook the steaks for 2 minutes on each side and then carefully press on top to see how cooked they are. They’ll feel very soft when rare, so keep cooking them if you’d like them medium or well done. Serve the steaks with the chimichurri and salad, chips or potato wedges.
