CHIMICHURRI STEAK SAUCE

• Combine vinegar, cilantro, onion, garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper in a blender. Puree until smooth.

STEAKS WITH CHIMICHURRI

Steps:

• First, make the chimichurri by placing the herbs and garlic into a food processor (or blender). Add the vinegar, red pepper flakes, salt and black pepper to taste.
• Pulse it a few times then continue pulsing while adding 3/4 cup of the olive oil. Keep pulsing until the mixture is pulverized, leaving just a little texture from the herbs. Transfer to a bowl, then cover and refrigerate until you need it (you can make it up to 1 day ahead, though it's best to make it the same day).
• Season the steak on both sides with salt and pepper. Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat and add the butter and remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil. When it's melted and starting to brown, add a steak. Fry until medium rare, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Remove the steak and let it rest for 3 minutes. (If you're frying more steaks, just add a little more butter and oil to the pan as needed.)
• Slice the steak. Serve it with the chimichurri on the side.

CHIMICHURRI SKIRT STEAK WITH GRILLED SHISHITO PEPPERS

Steps:

• Add the vinegar, scallions, garlic, cilantro, 1/3 cup of the olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt and a generous amount of pepper to a blender. Blend until smooth. Reserve 1/3 cup. Marinate the skirt steak in a large resealable plastic bag with the remaining chimichurri for 2 hours or up to overnight.
• Preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat and brush the grates with oil.
• Remove the steak from the marinade, wipe off most of the excess marinade and sprinkle both sides with salt. Grill the steak, flipping once, until an instant-read thermometer registers 125 degrees F, 4 to 5 minutes per side (you may need to pull the thinner pieces of steak off first as they will cook quicker). Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Wipe the grill clean and reduce the heat to medium.
• Meanwhile, toss the shishito peppers with the remaining 1 tablespoon oil, Aleppo pepper and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Grill, flipping occasionally, until the peppers are blistered in spots and have softened, about 6 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and toss with the lime juice.
• Divide the peppers and steak among 4 plates and spoon the reserved chimichurri sauce over the top of the steak.

GRILLED STEAK SANDWICHES WITH CHIMICHURRI AND BELL PEPPERS

Steps:

• Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Combine first 6 ingredients in processor; add 2/3 cup oil and puree until almost smooth. Season chimichurri with salt and pepper.
• Brush pepper strips, steaks, and cut side of bread with remaining 1/4 cup oil. Sprinkle peppers and steaks with salt and pepper. Grill peppers until tender, about 5 minutes per side. Grill steaks to desired doneness, about 4 minutes per side for medium-rare. Grill bread, cut side down, until beginning to brown lightly, about 2 minutes. Thinly slice steaks crosswise; divide among bread bottoms. Spoon chimichurri over steak (about 1/4 cup per sandwich), then top with pepper strips. Cover with bread tops and serve.
• Recipe Remix:
