GRILLED BEEF AND VEAL CHOPS WITH CHIMICHURRI

Enjoy tender beef and veal chops marinated in vibrant chimichurri sauce, grilled to perfection and served with melting butter for a flavorful and juicy steak experience.

πŸ₯£ Ingredients

  • 5 beef and veal chops (e.g., 2 beef, 3 veal)
  • 1 serving chimichurri sauce
  • 5 small cubes butter (for serving)

Instructions

  1. Marinate the Meat
  • Rinse chops well and pat dry with paper towels.
  • Pour about half the chimichurri sauce over the meat.
  • Massage the marinade evenly into the chops by hand to fully coat them.
  • Refrigerate for 2–4 hours.
  1. Bring to Room Temperature
  • Remove meat from fridge at least 1 hour before grilling to allow it to reach room temperature.
  1. Preheat Grill
  • Heat your grillβ€”either a grill pan or charcoal grill.
  1. Grill the Chops
  • Pat marinade off chops lightly with paper towels to prevent flare-ups.
  • Place chops on high heat grill and sear for 2 minutes per side to seal in juices.
  1. Continue Cooking
  • Charcoal Grill: Move chops to grill edges away from direct heat and cook for 7–10 minutes per side for beef, or 5 minutes per side for veal.
  • Grill Pan: Reduce heat to low and continue cooking, or transfer chops to a 200Β°C oven for 15–20 minutes.
  1. Rest the Meat
  • Remove chops from heat, cover loosely with aluminum foil, and rest for at least 10 minutes.
  1. Serve
  • Serve each chop with a small cube of butter on top and extra chimichurri sauce on the side.

πŸ’‘ Tips

  • Patting the marinade off before grilling helps prevent burning.
  • Resting meat after cooking retains juices and improves tenderness.
  • Adjust grilling times based on chop thickness and personal doneness preference.
  • Use high-quality chimichurri for a fresh, zesty flavor boost.
