- 100ml olive oil

METHOD
- To make the chimichuri sauce simply add all the ingredients to a blender and process, I prefer to leave it slightly coarse
- To cook the 'perfect steak' rub oil all over your steaks and season generously with sea salt and ground pepper
- Melt the butter in a small bowl and add the chopped herbs
- Heat a frying pan to hot and add the steaks to it, don't overcrowd the pan
- Cook on each side for around 5 minutes for rare (add 2 minutes for medium, 4 minutes for well done) and in-between turns brush generously with the herb butter
- Serve with the chimichuri sauce drizzled over and with oven fries and salad
