Kev Tips
Don’t over-blend the chimichurri.
Keeping it chunky gives way better texture and flavor than a smooth sauce.

Steak cut note.
Flank steak gives the best value, sirloin is leaner, and NY strip is the richest option.
Best sear move.
Salt the steak early and pat dry before cooking for better crust development.
