There’s something primal in a good way about grilling meat over an open flame because it feels loud and a little chaotic and it smells so ridiculously good that even the neighbors start peeking over the fence so that was exactly the scene last Saturday while my uncle was manning the grill and arguing with my cousin over proper sear time while I was in the kitchen where I was whipping up the real star of the show which was the chimichurri.

This recipe has been our go to for family BBQs ever since because the churrasco is simple with quality steak and salt and heat while the sauce stays bright and punchy since the vinegar wakes everything up and yes I drizzle it on everything including bread and even potatoes so there’s absolutely no shame here.

Tips for Crispy Parmesan Crusted Baked Salmon

– One helpful tip is to always slice the beef against the grain. This makes the meat much more tender and easier to chew, especially for kids. If you’re not sure which way the grain goes, look for the lines running through the meat and cut across them.

– If you’re short on time, you can make the chimichurri sauce using a food processor. Just pulse the herbs and garlic a few times, then slowly add the oil and vinegar. Be careful not to blend it too much you want texture, not a smooth paste.

– Don’t have a grill No problem. A cast-iron skillet or grill pan works just as well. Make sure it’s very hot before adding the meat to get that same grilled flavor.

– For a milder sauce, reduce the garlic slightly and skip any red pepper flakes. For extra tang, add a little more vinegar. Chimichurri is very forgiving, so you can adjust it to your taste.

Ingredients :

• 2 pounds beef skirt steak, flank steak, or sirloin
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• For the Tangy Chimichurri Sauce
• 1 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped
• 3–4 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons fresh oregano or 2 teaspoons dried oregano
• ½ cup olive oil
• 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar or white vinegar
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon black pepper
• Optional : a pinch of red pepper flakes for mild heat and 1 teaspoon garlic powder

How to Make Crispy Parmesan Crusted Baked Salmon :

Step 1

Start by preparing the chimichurri sauce because it tastes even better after it sits for a little while. In a medium bowl, add the chopped parsley, minced garlic, and oregano. Stir everything together so the herbs and garlic are well mixed. Next, pour in the olive oil and vinegar.

Sprinkle in the salt and black pepper. Stir slowly until the sauce looks well blended and glossy. Set it aside at room temperature while you prepare the meat.

Step 2

Now it’s time to prepare the churrasco. Take the beef out of the fridge about 20 minutes before cooking so it can come closer to room temperature. This helps it cook more evenly. Pat the meat dry with paper towels, then rub it with olive oil.

Sprinkle salt, black pepper, and garlic powder evenly on both sides of the steak. Use your hands to gently press the seasoning into the meat.

Step 3

Heat your grill, grill pan, or heavy skillet over high heat. You want it very hot so the meat gets a good sear. Place the beef on the hot surface and let it cook without moving it for about 4–5 minutes.

This helps form that tasty crust. Flip the steak and cook the other side for another 4–5 minutes, depending on thickness and how done you like it.

Step 4

Once cooked, remove the meat from the heat and place it on a cutting board. Let it rest for at least 5–10 minutes. This step is very important because it allows the juices to stay inside the meat instead of running out. After resting, slice the beef thinly against the grain. Serve it warm with generous spoonfuls of tangy chimichurri sauce on top.
