This Wagyu steak with chimichurri is a simple way to showcase the exceptional flavour and tenderness of Wagyu beef. The richly marbled sirloin is quickly seared in a hot pan and served with a fresh, tangy chimichurri made with parsley, coriander, garlic, chilli, oregano and red wine vinegar.
With an ingredient as distinctive as Wagyu sirloin steak, there's little need for complicated accompaniments. The fresh herbs and acidity of the chimichurri provide a vibrant contrast to the richness of the beef without overpowering its flavour.
The chimichurri can be prepared up to a day in advance, although it should be made at least an hour before serving to give the flavours time to come together. Serve the finished steak with crusty bread or French fries to soak up the juices.
Ingredients
Wagyu Sirloin Steak with Chimichurri Sauce
- 2 250g Sirloin steaks
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 bunch Flat leaf parsley
- 1/2 bunch Coriander
- 1 tsp Dried chilli flakes
- 1 tbsp Red wine vinegar
- 1/2 tsp Dried oregano
- 4 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
Directions
Method
- Step 1, First make the chimichurri sauce. Finely chop the garlic and herbs, either by hand or in a food processor, then place in a bowl. Add the oregano, chilli flakes and vinegar then stir to combine. Slowly drizzle in the 4 tbsp olive oil, stirring as you go. Stop when you reach a loose, sauce-like texture. Season with salt and pepper to taste then cover and put to one side until you are ready to serve.
- Step 2, Set a large, heavy-based frying pan over a high heat and leave until searing hot – ensure your kitchen is well ventilated as it’s going to get smokey! Meanwhile season the steaks generously with salt and pepper on both sides and drizzle with a light coating of olive oil. When the pan has come to temperature pop the steaks in and cook to your liking. With a two centimetre thick steak, a couple of minutes a side should be just right for a medium-rare result. Rest the steaks for at least half the time they cooked for before serving with the chimichurri and a hunk of crusty bread or French fries to mop up the delicious juices.
