A Taste of Argentina: New York Strip Steak with Chimichurri Sauce and a Vermont Twist
Hola, fellow steak connoisseurs! In this week's recipe, we're spicing up our New York Strip Steak with an irresistibly tangy and herby Chimichurri sauce hailing from the charming culinary landscape of Argentina.
I absolutely adore making this New York Strip Steak with Chimichurri Sauce, as it provides an exquisite balance of flavors while letting Vermeat's delectable NY Strip Steak truly shine. Our vibrant Chimichurri sauce not only enhances the natural nutrition and taste of Vermeat's grass-fed beef but also adds a delightful twist that will have your guests craving more.
Chimichurri Sauce, a celebrated Argentinean condiment, became a household name due to its ability to elevate grilled meats with a bright, zesty flavor profile led by fresh herbs and garlic. Today, we're thrilled to fuse this cherished culinary tradition with a Vermont twist by spotlighting Vermeat's top-quality NY Strip Steak sourced from our local, sustainable farms.
Here's why we believe Vermeat's NY Strip Steak makes our Argentine-inspired dish even more tantalizing:
- Flavor: The NY Strip Steak is lauded for its sublime balance of tenderness, rich texture, and robust beef flavor, perfectly complemented by the tangy, herby Chimichurri sauce.
- Nutrition: Vermeat's grass-fed beef is a treasure trove of essential nutrients, such as Omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins, and antioxidants, turning this scrumptious meal into a nourishing delight as well.
- Sustainability: Choosing Vermeat means supporting local Vermont farms that enforce sustainable, humane, and grass-raised cattle farming practices. It's a celebration of both flavor and our shared values!

Ingredients:
- 2 Vermeat NY Strip Steaks (approximately 12-16oz each)
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 2 tbsp organic olive oil, divided (substitute with melted ghee, tallow, or organic coconut oil)
- 1 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup fresh cilantro, finely chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
- 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1/2 tsp dried oregano
- 1/4 - 1/2 cup organic olive oil (depending on desired consistency)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Chimichurri sauce: In a bowl, combine the finely chopped parsley, cilantro, minced garlic, red wine vinegar, red pepper flakes (if you like a bit of heat), dried oregano, and a pinch of salt. Gradually whisk in 1/4 to 1/2 cup of organic olive oil until you reach your desired sauce consistency. Set aside for the flavors to meld while you prepare the steaks.
- Season the steaks: Pat the NY Strip Steaks dry with paper towels and brush both sides with 1 tablespoon of organic olive oil. Season the steaks generously with salt and black pepper. Allow them to rest for about 30 minutes, reaching room temperature before grilling.
- Preheat your grill: If using an outdoor grill, preheat it to medium-high heat. If using an indoor grill or stovetop, preheat your cast iron skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat.
- Grill the steaks: On an outdoor grill, place the NY Strip Steaks directly onto the preheated grill grates and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness. On an indoor grill or stovetop, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of organic olive oil to your preheated skillet or grill pan, and cook the steaks for 4-5 minutes per side, or to your preferred level of doneness. Once cooked, transfer the grilled steaks to a warm plate and let them rest for 5-10 minutes.
- Serve: Plate your New York Strip Steaks and generously drizzle them with the flavorful Chimichurri sauce. Delight your guests with a tasty fusion of Argentine zestiness and Vermont's top-quality NY Strip Steak. Enjoy your meal!
