  • 1 red bell pepper, cut into strips
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

Instructions

  1. Prepare Chimichurri Sauce (10 minutes): In a bowl, mix together chopped parsley, olive oil, red wine vinegar, minced garlic, red chili flakes, salt, and pepper. Set aside to let the flavors meld.
  2. Cook Steak Cubes (8-10 minutes): Season the steak cubes with salt, pepper, and optional garlic and onion powder. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the steak cubes until browned and cooked to your desired doneness. Remove and keep warm.

  4. Combine and Serve (5 minutes): Return the steak cubes to the skillet with the vegetables. Stir to combine and heat through.
  5. Top with Chimichurri (2 minutes): Serve the steak and veggies on a platter or individual plates. Drizzle with the chimichurri sauce just before serving.

To ensure the best flavors in this dish, use fresh ingredients for the chimichurri sauce, and let it sit for a while to develop the flavors.

The chimichurri sauce adds a fresh and zesty touch that elevates the entire dish. This dish is a delightful and easy-to-make meal that’s sure to be a hit with steak lovers.
