Serves: 2–3
Ingredients
- 400g grass-fed sirloin steak
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Sea salt & cracked black pepper
Chimichurri Verde
- 1 cup flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped
- 2 tbsp oregano (fresh or dried)
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- ½ tsp chilli flakes (adjust to taste)
- 2 tbsp red wine vinegar
- ⅓ cup olive oil
- Salt to taste
Quick Pickled Shallots
- 1 small shallot, thinly sliced
- 2 tbsp red wine vinegar
- Pinch of sugar
- Pinch of salt
Method
- Combine shallots, vinegar, sugar, and salt. Set aside for at least 15 minutes until softened and bright.
- Mix parsley, oregano, garlic, chilli flakes, vinegar, and olive oil. Season lightly — it should taste fresh and sharp, not oily.
- Pat the sirloin dry and season generously with salt and pepper.
- Heat a pan or grill until very hot. Add oil and sear steak for 2–3 minutes per side for medium-rare, depending on thickness.
- Rest for 5–7 minutes, then slice thinly across the grain.
- Spoon chimichurri over the sliced steak and scatter with pickled shallots.
Serving Suggestion
Pair with roasted potatoes, grilled vegetables, or a simple tomato salad to let the steak shine.
