Côte de Boeuf with Chimichurri Sauce

Labels: { Beef }

Côte De Boeuf is a steak cut from the rib primal with the rib bone still attached but depending on where you live it will have different names. In French cuisine the same cut also with bone attached is called côte de bœuf, which translates as “beef rib”. In Australia and New Zealand a bone-in rib steak is called a "ribeye". In the USA it is known as a rib steak or cowboy steak. It delivers amazing flavour from all the marbling that runs through it, and makes an ideal sharing steak for a dinner for two. Chimichurri is mainly made from chopped parsley, garlic, olive oil, oregano, chilli flakes, and red wine vinegar. It's great to use as a condiment for the meat, but can also be used as a marinade.

A bunch parsley, roughly chopped
1-2 tbsp Oregano
2 Garlic cloves
1 Shallot, chopped
1/2 tsp Chilli flakes
4 tbsp Olive oil
Juice 1/2 lemon
2 tsp Red wine vinegar
25 g Butter,
1 / about 700 g Côte de Boeuf
Salt and peppers
Arugula

To make the chimichurri, blitz the parsley, oregano, garlic, shallot and chilli flakes in a food process. Add olive oil, the lemon juice, vinegar and some seasoning, and pulse to combine everything to a saucy consistency.
Take Côte de Boeuf ouf of the refrigerator 1- 2 hours before the preparation. Season steak well with salt and pepper.
Preheat the oven to 200C/400F. Heat the butter in a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the beef for 2 minutes on both sides then cook in the oven for 16 minutes for rare, 20 minutes for medium.
Remove from the oven and leave to rest for at least 10 minutes. Slice thickly and serve with the prepared chimichurri sauce over a bed of arugula salad.

Kitchen Riffs 27/5/19 16:49: Great dish! We like chimichurri sauce and often use it on beef. We usually grill a flank or skirt steak when using this sauce, but the ribeye sounds wonderful (it's such a flavorful and succulent cut of meat). Really nice -- thanks.

tigerfish 2/6/19 02:18: Bones in the bone-in meats give the meat much more flavor, don't you think?
Perfectly done meat complementing seamlessly with herbs (aroma) and vinegar (acid) in the chimichurri
