Argentinian Steak
- 1 whole Your Favorite Beef Steak, For Grilling
- 1/2 cups Wood Chips, Soaked In Water
- 1/2 cups Chimichurri Sauce (See Below)
- 1/2 bunches Flat Leaf Parsley, Rough Chop
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1 pinch Cracked Black Pepper
- 1 teaspoon Dried Mexican Oregano
- 1 whole Lemon, Juiced
- 1 Tablespoon Vinegar
- 1/2 cups Olive Oil
- 1/4 cups Sherry Wine
- 2 whole Shallots, Minced
- 1 Tablespoon Red Chili Pepper Flake
- 6 cloves Garlic, Rough Chop
- Begin by adding all of your chimichurri ingredients to a food processor, or blender and pulse it down into a nice puree.
- Add about 3/4 of the sauce to a large zip lock bag, then toss in your steak.
- Reserve the rest to serve with the steak.
- Massage the steak from the outside.
- Seal the bag, removing any air that you can, and place in the refrigerator for at least four hours, or overnight if you can.
- The longer the better.
- When you are ready, get your grill ready and bring it to a nice high heat as you want a nice sear on the outside of the steaks.
- Remove the steak from the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature.
- Add the soaked wood to the coals.
- I used a nice oak wood that added just the right amount of smoke.
- Just be careful not to over smoke your meat.
- I like my steak with just a hint of the smokey flavor.
- Cook the steak to your desired tenderness.
- I like a medium and that typically goes, depending on your heat level for about 4-7 minutes per side, or until it registers 130 degrees on a meat thermometer.
- When you have achieved the desired tenderness, remove it from the grill, placing in on a plate, and make a tent with a bit of foil, letting the steak rest for about five minutes, locking in all of the juices.
- Slice the steak against the grain, and lay on top of some more of the chimichurri sauce.
- Your steak will never be the same!
- So now we welcome in a new child, as well as a new steak.
- Enjoy.
