Chimichurri is a perfect pairing for grilled ribeye because its bright, herbaceous flavors beautifully complement the steak’s rich, smoky profile. The tangy vinegar and citrus elements cut through the marbling, balancing the ribeye’s bold, savory notes. Fresh herbs like parsley and cilantro add a refreshing contrast, while garlic and red pepper flakes provide a savory, slightly spicy kick that enhances the steak without overwhelming it. As a finishing sauce, chimichurri also adds a burst of moisture, making each bite more tender and flavorful. Whether you’re grilling for a special occasion or a casual evening, this classic combination will elevate your meal and delight any steak lover’s palate. Pair it with a bold red wine like Priest Ranch Double Barrel to complete the experience.

finely chopped chimichuri

Ingredients

  • 3 Bunches of Flat-leaf parsley (finely chopped)
  • 1/2 Bunch of Cilantro (finely chopped)
  • 4 Cloves of Garlic (finely chopped)
  • 1/4 Red Onion (finely chopped)
  • 1 tbsp Red Pepper Flakes
  • 2 tbsps Red Wine Vinegar or Sherry Vinegar
  • 1 1/2 cups Priest Ranch Olive Oil
  • Kosher Salt (to taste)

Directions

  • Finely chop the parsley, cilantro, garlic, and red onion.  Combine with remaining ingredients in a bowl and mix well.

The Fine Chopped Chimichurri and Slow-Smoked and Grilled Bone-In Ribeye  are a match made in culinary heaven, bringing out the best in each other with every bite. The rich, marbled texture of a perfectly grilled ribeye needs a sauce that can stand up to its bold flavor, and chimichurri does just that. With its vibrant blend of fresh herbs like parsley and cilantro, combined with garlic, red pepper flakes, and tangy vinegar, chimichurri cuts through the richness of the ribeye, providing a burst of freshness and acidity. This balance helps cleanse the palate, making each bite as exciting as the first.

The garlic and subtle spice from the red pepper adds a savory depth that complements the smoky, umami notes of the grilled meat, while the herbaceous elements bring a refreshing contrast to the steak’s charred exterior. Chimichurri’s natural acidity also acts as a palate cleanser, preventing the heaviness of the ribeye from overwhelming the senses and ensuring that you enjoy the intricate flavors of both the steak and the sauce.

For a complete experience, pair this combination with a bold red wine like Priest Ranch Double Barrel. The wine’s structured tannins and complex flavors amplify the dish, creating a memorable pairing that will elevate your next barbecue or dinner party. Whether it’s a casual gathering or a special occasion, grilled ribeye with chimichurri and a glass of Double Barrel will impress even the most discerning food and wine lovers.
