3 tablespoons salt
2 1/2 pounds rib-eye, New York strip, or sirloin steak, 1 1/2 inches thick
2 baguettes, sliced into 1/4-inch-thick slices
Instructions
Preheat a grill.
Place all chimichurri sauce ingredients in a blender or food processor and pulse until well chopped, but not
pureed. Reserve.
Dissolve cayenne pepper and salt in 1 cup hot water. Transfer to a squeeze container.
Place the steak directly over a hot grill, baste with the chimichurri grilling sauce, and grill until the
outer portion of the meat reaches the desired degree of doneness. Remove the steak from the grill and slice
long strips from the outer edges of the steak. Instruct guests to pick up a steak slice from the cutting board
with their fingers, place it on a slice of baguette, and enjoy. Return the remaining steak to the grill,
baste, and grill until more of the steak is cooked. Remove and repeat the slicing and serving procedure until
steak is consumed. For extra spicy steak, baste 2 or 3 additional times with the cayenne pepper mixture during
grilling process. Spoon chimichurri sauce over steak. (Also brilliant on any grilled fish or chicken)
Recommended beverage: Argentinian Malbec (red)
