Ingredients
Scale
Steak
- 4 beef steaks (such as sirloin or ribeye), about 1 inch thick
- Salt and pepper to taste
Vinagrete Sauce
- 2 tomatoes, diced
- 1/2 onion, finely chopped
- 1/2 bell pepper, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons white vinegar
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Season the steaks: Generously season both sides of the beef steaks with salt and pepper to enhance their natural flavor.
- Grill the steaks: Preheat your grill to high heat. Place the steaks on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or adjust the time to reach your desired doneness. Once cooked, remove the steaks from the grill and allow them to rest for a few minutes to retain their juices.
- Prepare the vinagrete sauce: In a medium bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, chopped onion, bell pepper, and parsley. Drizzle the mixture with olive oil and white vinegar. Season with salt and pepper to taste, then mix well to combine all the flavors.
- Serve: Slice the rested steaks against the grain to ensure tenderness. Serve alongside the fresh vinagrete sauce for a perfect balance of smoky and tangy flavors.
Notes
- Choose high-quality beef cuts like ribeye or sirloin for the best flavor and tenderness.
- Letting the steaks rest after grilling helps keep the meat juicy.
- Adjust the vinagrete ingredients to your taste; adding a pinch of sugar can balance acidity if needed.
- The vinagrete sauce can be made ahead and refrigerated for up to a day.
- Use a sharp knife for slicing steak against the grain to maximize tenderness.
