Enjoy this easy grilled steak and chimichurri with fries for dinner – it pairs perfectly with patio weather.  This super flavorful meal is made simpler by using some short cuts I’ll share with you in the recipe below!

The best recipe for easy grilled steak and chimichurri sauce this image

This dinner surprised me by being a super simple amazing grilled steak recipe to make. You can use frozen french fries as a great shortcut which helps to make the whole meal seem so simple.  As the steak was grilling, throw the fries in the oven, and everything is done at the same time.

Steak on the grill

What is chimichurri?

  • Chimichurri is an uncooked sauce made up of fresh herbs (typically parsley), garlic, olive oil and vinegar. It’s used as both a marinade and a sauce and is amazing on meats (beef, chicken, pork) and on fish too). I’ve made a non-traditional chimichurri before when I shared a recipe for curry crusted steak with roasted red pepper chimichurri.

Chimichurri sauce over steak with fries

While there are a million and a half chimichurri recipes out there, it’s easiest to just used what you have on hand.  The end result is an amazing herby-garlic-olive oil sauce with red chili flakes instead of chiles and loosely used this Bon Appetite chimichurri sauce recipe as a guide.

This herb marinade/sauce for steak is super adaptable for what you have on hand and can totally be customized to your taste.

Steak with fries and chimichurri on plate

Before you throw your steak on the grill, you can marinate it for 5 minutes or overnight in the refrigerator, depending on how much time you have.  And don’t forget to set aside half of the sauce for dipping so you can enjoy all of that chimichurri goodness once the steak comes off the grill!

All together, this meal took about 10 minutes to prep – 5 minutes of making the sauce and then 5 minutes getting everything set for the grill (or fries for the oven) and then cooking was very quick and everything was done in under 30 minutes!
