Step 1
Combine parsley, oregano, garlic, vinegar, and 0.5 cup olive oil in a bowl. Stir to combine.
Step 2
Season chimichurri with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
Step 3
Pat steaks dry with paper towels. Season generously on both sides with salt and pepper.
Step 4
Heat a 12-inch cast iron skillet over medium-high until smoking, about 2 minutes.
Step 5
Sear first steak 4 minutes without moving—edges should look deeply browned.
Step 6
Flip steak, sear 3 minutes more for medium-rare (internal temp 130°F at center).
Step 7
Transfer to a cutting board. Repeat steps 5–6 with second steak.
Step 8
Rest steaks 5 minutes uncovered.
