About this Recipe
Easy Chimichurri Steak with Baked Potato
This is the ultimate meat and potatoes dinner—a juicy sirloin roast topped with bright, herbaceous chimichurri sauce alongside a loaded baked potato. With just 5 main ingredients, it'''s simple enough for weeknights yet impressive enough for date night.
Why Chimichurri Is Perfect for Steak
This Argentine herb sauce is the ideal complement to beef. The parsley, garlic, oregano, and vinegar cut through the richness of the meat while adding incredible freshness. Pre-made chimichurri (like Trader Joe'''s) makes this recipe effortless.
Tips for Perfect Results
- Bring meat to room temperature: Let the sirloin sit out for 30 minutes before cooking for more even results.
- Start potatoes early: Baked potatoes take longer than the steak, so get them in the oven first.
- Rest the meat: Always let steak rest 5-10 minutes after cooking to redistribute juices.
- Be generous with chimichurri: This sauce is the star—don'''t skimp!
Air Fryer Method
For the steak, air fry at 400°F for 12-18 minutes depending on thickness and desired doneness. Use a meat thermometer for accuracy.
