2 10 -to-12-ounce sirloin steaks
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves, roughly chopped
1/2 cup fresh parsley leaves, roughly chopped
1 tablespoon finely chopped onion
Juice of 1/2 lemon
2 teaspoons white wine vinegar
1 clove garlic, minced or pressed through a garlic press
Pinch of red pepper flakes
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1/3 cup olive oil

1
Prepare the steak: Set the steaks on a cutting board and slice them in half crosswise.
2
Using your knife, round out the clean-cut edges so the sides look softer.
3
Use paper towels to pat the steaks dry, then season all over with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper.
4
Set aside 15 to 30 minutes to bring to room temperature.
5
Meanwhile, make the chimichurri sauce: Place the cilantro, parsley, onion, lemon juice, vinegar, garlic, red pepper flakes, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in the bowl of a food processor and pulse until roughly chopped.
6
Slowly pour in the olive oil and process until the chimichurri is semi-smooth, about 4 seconds.
7
Transfer to a small bowl and set aside.
8
Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
9
Brush both sides of each steak with the vegetable oil, then cook, undisturbed, until marked, 3 to 5 minutes.
10
Flip and cook until a thermometer registers 125 degrees F for medium rare, 3 to 5 more minutes.
11
Transfer to plates and let rest 5 minutes.
12
Serve with the chimichurri sauce.
