Equipment

  • Grill (wood fire or gas grill)
  • Grill grates
  • Meat thermometer
  • Cutting board
  • small bowl
  • Resealable plastic bag (optional)
  • Food processor (optional)

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup olive oil
  • 1 cup lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup red wine vinegar
  • 2 bell peppers sliced
  • 2 red peppers sliced
  • 1 red onion sliced
  • 4 garlic cloves minced
  • 2 tsp red pepper flakes
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 2-3 lbs of your favorite beef cut such as short ribs, flank steak, or skirt steak
  • Argentinian chimichurri sauce homemade or store-bought
  • 1 lb blood sausage or chorizo Optional

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If you're using a gas grill, set it to about 400-450°F. If you're using a wood fire grill, let the coals burn down until they're glowing red with a thin layer of white ash.
  • While the grill is heating up, prepare your vegetables and set them aside. Mix together the olive oil, lemon juice, and vinegar in a small bowl.
  • Season your beef with salt, black pepper, and the red pepper flakes. Place it in a resealable plastic bag or on a cutting board and brush it with the olive oil mixture.
  • Place the grill grates over the heat and brush them with oil to prevent sticking. Place the beef and vegetables on the grates and cook for about 6-8 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or longer if you prefer your beef more well-done.
  • While the beef is cooking, make your chimichurri sauce by mixing together a cup of chopped fresh parsley, a minced garlic clove, a tablespoon of red wine vinegar, a teaspoon of dried oregano, a pinch of red pepper flakes, and salt and black pepper to taste. If you have a food processor, pulse everything together until well combined. If not, mix everything together in a small bowl.
  • Once the beef has reached your desired level of doneness (use a meat thermometer to check for an internal temperature of 145°F for medium-rare), remove it from the grill and let it rest for about 10 minutes.
  • While the beef is resting, grill your blood sausage or chorizo, if using. Simply place them on the grates and cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until they're heated through.
  • Once everything is cooked to perfection, it's time to serve! Slice the beef against the grain and arrange it on a platter with the grilled vegetables and sausage. Serve with the chimichurri sauce on the side.

Notes

  • If you don't have a specific type of beef listed in the recipe, you can use other cuts such as sirloin steak, ribeye, or duck breast.
  • If you don't have a food processor, you can mix the olive oil, lemon juice, and vinegar together in a small bowl.
  • You can also cook this recipe in the oven using the indirect heat method. Preheat your oven to 350°F and place a metal grate on top of a baking sheet.
  • Place the beef on the grate and roast for about 45 minutes, or until it reaches the desired level of doneness.
