Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb flank or skirt steak, trimmed
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika (optional)
  • 1 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp red wine vinegar
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 1 baguette or rustic Italian bread, sliced about 1/2 inch thick
  • 2 tbsp olive oil, for brushing
  • 1 clove garlic, halved (for rubbing on toasted bread)
  • 8 oz burrata cheese, fresh
  • Freshly cracked black pepper, for garnish
  • Optional: microgreens or fresh basil leaves for garnish

Instructions

  1. Make the Chimichurri Sauce: In a mixing bowl, combine parsley, cilantro, and minced garlic. Add red wine vinegar, olive oil, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Stir well and let sit at room temperature.
  2. Prep the Steak: Pat steak dry. Rub both sides with olive oil, salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika if using. Let rest for 10 minutes to come closer to room temperature.
  3. Slice the Bread: Cut baguette into 1/2-inch thick slices. Brush both sides lightly with olive oil.
  4. Grill the Bread: Place bread slices on grill or grill pan over medium heat. Toast 2-3 minutes per side until crisp but slightly soft inside. Remove and rub warm bread with cut side of garlic clove.
  5. Grill the Steak: Heat grill or pan to high. Cook steak 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare (130°F / 54°C internal temperature). Remove and rest for 5-7 minutes before slicing thinly against the grain.
  6. Assemble the Bruschetta: Spread chimichurri over toasted bread slices. Top with grilled steak slices, then a dollop of burrata cheese. Sprinkle with cracked black pepper and garnish with microgreens or basil if desired.
  7. Serve Immediately: Enjoy fresh for the best contrast of warm steak and creamy burrata.

Notes

Use fresh herbs for chimichurri for best flavor. Rest steak after grilling to keep it tender. Burrata can be substituted with fresh mozzarella or ricotta. For gluten-free, use gluten-free bread or grilled polenta slices. Chimichurri tastes better after sitting for a few hours or overnight. If chimichurri is too thick, add olive oil or water to loosen.
