A sumptuous steak served with chimichurri, a popular Argentinian sauce for grilled meats that zings with herbs and spices.

1 tbs salt flakes
1/2 cup (125ml) olive oil, plus extra, to brush
1/4 cup (60ml) red wine vinegar
1/3 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley leaves
1 bunch fresh oregano, leaves chopped
1/2 tsp dried crushed chillies
1 garlic clove, crushed
1 bay leaf
6 large rib-eye steaks
Baked sweet potatoes, to serve

Method

1.

Preheat barbecue or chargrill to high. Place 1 tbs salt flakes in a jar with 1/2 cup (125ml) warm water and stir to dissolve. Add all remaining ingredients, except steak and potatoes, and shake well. Set aside.
2.

Brush steaks with a little oil and season. Barbecue until cooked to your liking (1-2 minutes each side for medium rare). Rest, loosely covered with foil, for 5 minutes.
3.

Shake sauce again, discarding bay leaf. Place steaks on plates, drizzle with sauce and serve with baked sweet potatoes.
