Ingredients:
For the Mayan Smoky Red Grilled Steak:
4 ribeye steaks (about 1 inch thick)
2 tablespoons Mayan Smoky Red seasoning
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon lime juice
2 cloves garlic, minced
Salt to taste
For the Chimichurri Sauce:
1 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped
1/2 cup fresh cilantro, finely chopped
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1/3 cup olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 small red chili, finely chopped (optional, for extra heat)
1 teaspoon dried oregano
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
Marinate the Steaks:
In a small bowl, combine the Mayan Smoky Red seasoning, olive oil, lime juice, minced garlic, and salt. Mix well to form a marinade.
Rub the marinade all over the ribeye steaks, ensuring each piece is thoroughly coated. Cover and let marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes or refrigerate for up to 4 hours for deeper flavor.
Prepare the Chimichurri Sauce:
In a medium bowl, combine the chopped parsley, cilantro, red wine vinegar, olive oil, minced garlic, and optional red chili.
Add the dried oregano and season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix well and let the flavors meld for at least 30 minutes before serving.
Grill the Steaks:
Preheat the grill to high heat.
Remove the steaks from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off.
Grill the steaks for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until they reach your desired level of doneness. Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature (130°F for medium-rare, 140°F for medium).
Let the steaks rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
Serve:
Slice the grilled steaks against the grain and arrange them on a serving platter.
Drizzle some chimichurri sauce over the top and serve the rest on the side.
Accompany with grilled vegetables, roasted potatoes, or a fresh salad.
Presentation:
For a five-star presentation, garnish the platter with lime wedges and sprigs of fresh herbs such as parsley or cilantro.
Serve on a beautifully arranged plate with artistic drizzles of chimichurri and a few extra slices of fresh red chili for a touch of color.
Enjoy this sophisticated South American-inspired dish, bursting with the smoky, spicy flavors of the Mayan Smoky Red seasoning!
