Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Pulse parsley, garlic, vinegar, and olive oil in a blender until chunky-bright green, ~30 seconds. Reserve half in a bowl for serving.

  2. Step 2

    Pat steak dry and season generously with salt and pepper on both sides.

  3. Step 3

    Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high until it shimmers, ~90 seconds.

  4. Step 4

    Sear steak 2 minutes per side without moving. Center should feel warm but still springy when pressed.

  5. Step 5

    Remove steak to a cutting board and let rest 3 minutes, then slice into 1/2-inch strips.

  6. Step 6

    Divide rice between bowls, top with steak, drizzle with reserved chimichurri, and squeeze lime over everything.
