Juicy, bite-sized steak pieces quickly seared and tossed in a vibrant chimichurri sauce made with fresh herbs, garlic, and tangy vinegar for bold, fresh flavor.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 pounds sirloin, flank steak, or ribeye, cut into bite-size pieces
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (for cooking)
  • 1 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, finely chopped (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano or 1 tablespoon fresh oregano, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar or lemon juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1 small shallot, finely chopped (optional)
  • 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil (for chimichurri)
  • Lemon zest or extra chopped herbs, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Pat the steak bites dry and season generously with salt and black pepper.
  2. In a bowl, combine garlic, parsley, cilantro (if using), oregano, red wine vinegar, red pepper flakes, and shallot.
  3. Slowly whisk in extra-virgin olive oil until the chimichurri is well combined. Set aside.
  4. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil.
  5. Add steak bites in a single layer, working in batches if necessary. Sear for 2–3 minutes per side until browned and cooked to desired doneness.
  6. Remove skillet from heat and toss steak bites with half of the chimichurri sauce.
  7. Transfer to a serving platter and drizzle with remaining chimichurri.
  8. Garnish with lemon zest or extra herbs if desired and serve warm.

Notes

Do not overcrowd the pan to ensure proper searing.Chimichurri can be made ahead and refrigerated for better flavor.Serve as an appetizer or over rice or vegetables for a full meal.Grilling the steak bites is a great alternative to skillet cooking.
