Ingredients
Steak
- 1¼ lb sirloin steak
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- ¾ tsp kosher salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
Chimichurri Sauce
- 1 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp red wine vinegar
- ½ cup olive oil
- ½ tsp crushed red pepper flakes
- ½ tsp kosher salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
Roasted Veggies
- 1 lb baby potatoes, halved
- 1 bunch carrots, peeled and cut into sticks
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- ½ tsp kosher salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp dried thyme (or rosemary)
Instructions
- Prep the veggies: Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss 1 lb baby potatoes and 1 bunch carrots with 1 tbsp olive oil, ½ tsp salt, ¼ tsp pepper, and 1 tsp dried thyme. Spread on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Roast: Bake 25–30 minutes, flipping once halfway, until golden and tender.
- Make chimichurri: In a small bowl, whisk together 1 cup chopped parsley, 3 minced garlic cloves, 2 tbsp red wine vinegar, ½ cup olive oil, ½ tsp red pepper flakes, ½ tsp salt, ¼ tsp pepper, and 1 tbsp lemon juice. Let sit for flavors to meld.
- Cook the steak: Pat 1¼ lb sirloin dry; season with ¾ tsp salt and ½ tsp pepper. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear 3–4 minutes per side for medium-rare (internal temp 135°F). Rest 5 minutes before slicing.
- Serve: Plate steak slices with roasted veggies and spoon over chimichurri sauce. Garnish with extra parsley.
Notes & Swaps
- Use flank or flat iron steak if sirloin isn’t available.
- Chimichurri keeps up to 5 days refrigerated — drizzle it on chicken or eggs too.
- Add asparagus or zucchini to the roasting pan for extra greens.
- To avoid overcooking, remove steak 5°F before target temperature — it continues cooking as it rests.
