Tip

Adjust the cooking time based on your preferred level of doneness. For rare (bloody), cook for about 1.5 minutes on each side. For medium rare (slightly bloody), cook for 2 minutes on each side. For medium (pink in the middle), cook for 2.5 to 3 minutes on each side. For medium well (just a hint of pink), cook for 3.5 to 4 minutes on each side. For well done (fully cooked through), cook for 4.5 to 5 minutes on each side.

1
Preheat the oven to 225 °C and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
2
Wash and cut the potatoes into wedges, spread them out on the tray. Drizzle with oil, season with salt, pepper, and thyme, and toss to coat. Place the tray in the oven and bake for 25–30 minutes.
3
Prepare the chimichurri marinade. Remove the seeds from the red peppers, wash them, cut them into small cubes, and place in a bowl. Wash the lemon under warm water, grate the zest and squeeze the juice into the same bowl. Wash the chili and finely chop it. Peel the garlic and finely chop it. Wash the coriander and parsley and chop them finely. Drizzle with oil, season with vinegar, salt, pepper, and sugar. Mix well and let it rest.
4
Pat the steaks dry with a paper towel and season with salt and pepper.
5
Heat oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Add the steaks and a knob of butter and sear them to your preferred doneness (see the "Tip" section for timing).
6
Transfer the steaks from the pan to a plate and let them rest under foil for 2–3 minutes.
7
Serve the steaks on plates, top with chimichurri marinade, drizzle with lemon juice, and add roasted potatoes on the side. Enjoy your meal.
