    Step 3: Grill the Churrasco

    Preheat grill or grill pan to high heat. Cook steak for about 3–5 minutes per side (depending on thickness) until desired doneness. Let rest 5–10 minutes before slicing.

    Step 4: Slice and Serve

    Slice the steak against the grain and drizzle generously with chimichurri. Serve with rice, grilled vegetables, or crusty bread.

    Tips for Perfect Churrasco

    • Chimichurri improves with time—make it ahead
    • Marinate the steak for 1 hour in olive oil, vinegar, and garlic for more depth
