Instructions
- 1Finely chop the fresh parsley, fresh garlic, and serrano pepper. Combine in a bowl with the red wine vinegar, dried oregano, and olive oil. Stir well and let sit for 5–10 minutes to infuse flavors (chimichurri can be made up to 24 hours ahead and refrigerated).
- 2Pat the ribeye steaks dry with paper towels and season generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
- 3Heat olive oil in a cast iron skillet or heavy-bottomed pan over medium-high heat until shimmering, about 2 minutes.
- 4Place steaks in the hot pan and cook 2–3 minutes per side for medium-rare (internal temp 130–135°F), 3–4 minutes per side for medium (140–145°F), or 4–5 minutes per side for well done (155°F+), depending on thickness. Steaks should develop a golden-brown crust.
