Delicious Chimichurri Steak with Herb Sauce

O Que Você Precisa Saber

- The 2-centimeter thickness of the filet mignon steaks ensures a toasted crust on the outside while preserving the pink center. - Resting in an olive oil and vinegar marinade perfumes the muscle fibers with raw garlic and calabrian pepper. - Resting the meat after grilling for 5 minutes retains the juices, preventing the broth from running onto the board when slicing.

Ingredients

  • 500g of filet mignon
  • 1/2 cup of olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup of chopped parsley
  • 1/4 cup of red wine vinegar

  • Salt to taste

Chef Tips

- Heat the grill or cast-iron skillet until it smokes before placing the meat for immediate searing. - Do not pierce the steaks with a fork when flipping; always use meat tongs to maintain all the internal juiciness. - Prepare the chimichurri sauce in advance so that the wine vinegar and olive oil extract the parsley oils.

Variations

- Chimichurri with bell pepper: add two tablespoons of finely chopped red bell pepper to the sauce. - Smoked version: add half a teaspoon of Spanish smoked paprika to the olive oil and garlic emulsion. - Warm Chimichurri: pour the slightly warmed sauce over the sliced meat when taking it to the table.

Substitutions

- O filé mignon pode ser substituído por bife de chorizo (contrafilé), bife ancho (entrecôte) ou fraldinha na grelha. - O vinagre de vinho tinto pode ser substituído por vinagre de maçã suave ou suco fresco de limão taiti. - A salsinha fresca picada pode ser combinada com orégano fresco picadinho e folhas de tomilho fresco.

How to Store

Store the grilled steaks in a closed container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The chimichurri sauce on the side lasts up to 10 days refrigerated; reheat only the meat in a hot skillet and drizzle with the fresh sauce, cold or warm.

Can You Freeze It?

Freeze only the raw marinated steaks in a vacuum-sealed bag or plastic wrap for up to 2 months. Do not freeze the already grilled meat with the fresh chimichurri, as the meat dries out and the sauce herbs oxidize and lose their aroma.

What to Serve With

Serve accompanied by rustic oven-baked potatoes, grilled garlic bread, grilled vegetables, and onion farofa. Pairs perfectly with a full-bodied Argentine Malbec red wine or a Red Ale beer.

Frequently Asked Questions

Como atingir o ponto ao ponto para malpassado no filé mignon?

Grelhe em brasa forte por 5 minutos do primeiro lado e cerca de 4 minutos do segundo lado, garantindo centro avermelhado.

O vinagre do chimichurri não cozinha a carne durante a marinada?

A marinada rápida de 10 minutos apenas tempera superficialmente sem desidratar ou quebrar excessivamente as fibras.

Can I use dried oregano in the chimichurri sauce?

Yes, dried oregano hydrated in vinegar with warm water for 5 minutes before adding the olive oil is classic in the Argentine recipe.

Why leave a part of the sauce reserved without contact with raw meat?

To avoid cross-contamination; the portion that comes into contact with raw meat should not be served fresh over the roasted steak.
