Ribeye Steak with Chimichurri Board Sauce

Ribeye Steak with Chimichurri Board Sauce

The best way to eat a steak, for my money, is to dress it with fresh herbs and bright acid – no goopy sauces here. Meat master Adam Perry Lang popularized the idea of a “board sauce” – an herby steak sauce that’s chopped, mixed and assembled right on the cutting board. Slice your meat straight into the sauce, allowing the juices to run and marry, and toss it all together. It’s messy and glorious. A tangy Brazilian chimichurri is a particularly perfect match for rich, flavorful steak like ribeye.
