Agree, don't marinate a steak. Save marinade for a cut like skirt or flank. Pat your steak dry, oil it lightly, and use a dry seasoning if you want extra flavor.

And make sure you sear it well to lock in all the juices.

I'm doing a chimichurri flank tomorrow for dinner, should I make the chimi tonight and let sit in the fridge?

Mix up the chimi and use half for the marinade, the rest for the sauce tomorrow.

I generally don't like to marinate a tender cut of beef, but to each his own.

How about trying this. Get a nice steak, ribeye or strip, and bring it to room temp and then salt and pepper it. Right before you put it on your smoking hot grill, get a little expresso powder and sprinkle on both side and grill to the temperature you like.

Enjoy the difference.

I don't use it but I have tried the Weber steak seasoning at it was excellent.

I hear that really locks the juices in.

I typically just do salt and pepper, but every now and then I like to do this with a ribeye. LINK

Would you consider a jerk style marinade?

Chimichurri is the only correct answer.

No It Isn't

This jerk marinade makes an awesome ribeye. I've used it several times. Use a good charcoal grill to do them correctly ( and I rarely grill a steak).

Mix first 6 ingredients in 13x9x2-inch glass baking dish. Add steak and turn to coat. Marinate 1 hour at room temperature or refrigerate up to 6 hours, turning steak occasionally. Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat) or preheat broiler. Drain marinade into small saucepan; simmer sauce while grilling steak and add a tablespoon of butter if desired. Reserve to pass as sauce. Grill or broil steak to desired doneness, about 4 minutes per side for medium-rare. Transfer steak to platter. Thinly slice across grain. Serve with marinade.


Yeah don't do this. It is how you get sick. If you want to make a sauce reserve some of the marinade in a separate pan from the meat. Discard any marinade that raw meat has been soaking in.

And for others cilantro, while some call for it, is not authentic Argentine chimichurri. Use oregano, parsley and red wine vinegar.
