Chimichurri Steak Bites are juicy, pan-seared steak cubes tossed in a vibrant, zesty chimichurri sauce made with fresh herbs, garlic, and vinegar. This quick and protein-packed dish is perfect for appetizers, dinners, or meal prep and is naturally gluten-free and low-carb.

Ingredients

  • 1.5 lbs sirloin, ribeye, or flank steak, cut into bite-sized cubes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • For the chimichurri sauce:
  • 1 cup fresh parsley
  • 1/2 cup fresh cilantro (optional, or use more parsley)
  • 3 garlic cloves
  • 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. In a food processor or blender, combine parsley, cilantro (if using), garlic, red wine vinegar, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Pulse a few times.
  2. While pulsing, slowly stream in olive oil until the mixture is blended but still textured. Set the chimichurri sauce aside.
  3. Pat the steak cubes dry and season with salt and pepper.
  4. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
  5. Add steak bites in a single layer. Sear for 2–3 minutes per side until browned and cooked to your desired doneness. Cook in batches if needed.
  6. Remove steak from heat and toss with chimichurri sauce, or serve the sauce on the side for dipping.
  7. Garnish with extra herbs if desired and serve hot.

Notes

Use sirloin for tenderness, ribeye for flavor, or flank for a leaner option.Freeze steak for 15–20 minutes before slicing to make cleaner cuts.Let the chimichurri sauce sit for a few hours to enhance flavor.Keep steak and sauce separate for meal prep and combine just before serving.
