- 1 lemon, juiced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 3 garlic cloves, minced (optional)

Instructions
- Step 1: Prepare the sauce by adding all of the Chimichurri ingredients to a small bowl and stirring until combined. Refrigerate the chimichurri until ready to use.
- Step 2: Whisk all of the steak marinade ingredients together in a small bowl. Place the steak in a glass container and pour the marinade inside, making sure all of the meat is well coated. You could also do this same process with a resealable bag of choice. Marinate the meat for 1 to 6 hours.
- Step 3: Heat a large cast-iron pan or ridged grill-pan over medium-high heat. Add the steak and cook for approximately 5 to 7 minutes per side. 5 minutes for medium-rare, 6 minutes for medium, and 7 for medium-well.
- Step 4: Transfer the steak to a cutting board, cover it lightly with foil, and let it rest for another 5 minutes. The resting time will yield a juicer steak once you cut into it.
- Serve: Slice the steak against the grain, spoon the chimichurri sauce over the top, and enjoy. This is great served at the table alongside more chimichurri sauce. Any leftover sauce can be refrigerated up to 5 days.
