How to cook it · about 45 minutes
- Heat the oven to 425F. Halve the potatoes, toss with 2 tbsp olive oil, salt and pepper, and roast on a sheet pan for 30 to 35 minutes until golden, flipping once.
- Make the chimichurri: finely chop the parsley leaves and mince the garlic. Stir them with the vinegar, oregano, red pepper flakes, a pinch of salt and about 0.5 cup olive oil. Let it sit at least 15 minutes so the flavors come together.
- Take the steak out of the fridge 20 minutes before cooking. Pat it dry and season both sides well with salt and pepper.
- Heat a large skillet or grill pan over high heat with 1 tbsp oil until it smokes. Cook the steak 4 to 5 minutes a side for medium-rare, or until an instant-read thermometer says 130F.
- Let the steak rest on a cutting board for 10 minutes. Slice it thinly across the grain, which means across the long lines you can see in the meat, so it stays tender.
- Serve the sliced steak with the potatoes and spoon plenty of chimichurri over the top.
