Ingredients

2 pounds chuck steak
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
For the Chimichurri Sauce:
1 cup fresh parsley, chopped
1/4 cup fresh oregano, chopped (or 1 tablespoon dried)
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/2 cup olive oil
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Marinate the Steak: In a bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and smoked paprika. Rub the mixture all over the chuck steak and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.
Prepare the Chimichurri Sauce: In a separate bowl, mix together chopped parsley, oregano, minced garlic, red pepper flakes, olive oil, red wine vinegar, and season with salt and pepper. Set aside to let the flavors meld.
Grill the Steak: Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Remove the steak from the marinade and grill for about 6-8 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness is achieved.
Rest and Serve: Once grilled, let the steak rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Drizzle chimichurri sauce over the sliced steak and serve immediately with your favorite sides.
