Instructions

  • Charred Lemon Chimichurri Sauce:
  • Heat a small sauté pan, lightly coated with evoo, over medium-high heat. Place lemon halves, cut side down, on the pan and char for 10 minutes until caramelized and soft.
  • In a food processor, pulse parsley, shallot, oregano, mint, garlic, red pepper, vinegar, and ½ cup evoo until a thick paste is formed. 
  • Add lemon juice from half of seared lemon and taste. If the sauce needs more acid, add the other half, if not, reserve for garnishing steaks.
  • Pan Roasted Steak:
  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with foil.
  • Heat a heavy duty skillet we like cast-iron over high heat.
  • Strip leaves off of rosemary sprig and mince until very fine (like tobacco). Add 1 tablespoon kosher salt and 2 teaspoons black pepper. Stir to combine.
  • Generously season steaks with seasoned salt. 
  • Add evoo to heated pan and sear steaks for 5 minutes per side or until a dark brown crust is formed. 
  • Transfer steaks to lined pan or move pan to oven to finish cooking for another 7 minutes for medium-rare.
  • Transfer steaks to a cutting board and loosely cover with foil to rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
  • Slice steaks and place on a platter. Drizzle sauce over and garnish with charred lemon.
