Bife Ancho

Bife Ancho is a flavorful Brazilian BBQ dish featuring a succulent ribeye steak, seasoned to perfection and grilled for a smoky finish. Served with a vibrant chimichurri sauce and a side of grilled vegetables, it delivers a delightful balance of taste and nutrition.

Ingredients

• Ribeye steak (Bife Ancho) - 400 grams
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Fresh parsley - 1/4 cup, chopped
• Fresh cilantro - 1/4 cup, chopped
• Red wine vinegar - 2 tablespoons
• Lemon juice - 1 tablespoon
• Red chili flakes - 1/2 teaspoon
• Salt - to taste
• Black pepper - to taste
• Zucchini - 1 medium, sliced
• Bell pepper - 1 medium, sliced
• Asparagus - 100 grams, trimmed

Steps

1. Prepare the chimichurri sauce by mixing parsley, cilantro, minced garlic, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, red chili flakes, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and black pepper in a bowl. Set aside to let the flavors meld.
2. Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
3. Rub the ribeye steak with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil, and season generously with salt and black pepper.
4. Grill the steak for about 5-7 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or to your desired doneness. Use a meat thermometer to check for an internal temperature of 57°C (135°F) for medium-rare.
5. While the steak is grilling, toss the zucchini, bell pepper, and asparagus with some olive oil, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
6. Add the vegetables to the grill during the last 5-7 minutes of the steak's cooking time, turning occasionally until they are slightly charred and tender.
7. Once cooked, let the steak rest for 5 minutes before slicing it against the grain.
8. Serve the sliced steak topped with chimichurri sauce and a side of grilled vegetables.
