For the steak:
For the chimichurri:
Start by patting your steak dry with paper towels — this helps get that perfect crust. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
Heat a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil. Sear the steak for 2–4 minutes per side, depending on your desired doneness (2 minutes for medium-rare, closer to 4 for medium-well).
While the steak cooks, quickly pulse all chimichurri ingredients in a blender or food processor. You want a slightly chunky texture, not a smooth sauce.
Once the steak is done, let it rest for at least 10 minutes so the juices redistribute. Slice thinly against the grain and drizzle generously with chimichurri.
