This creamy chimichurri bavette steak is a flavor-packed dinner that comes together quickly. The steak is seared then roasted until perfectly tender, while the broccoli gets crispy and golden with garlic. A simple creamy chimichurri sauce adds a tangy, herbaceous finish.
Serve it all over fluffy jasmine rice tossed with butter for a satisfying meal that feels special but is easy enough for a weeknight. The combination of textures and bright flavors will make this a new favorite.

Ingredients
Instructions
- Adjust rack to top position (top and middle positions for 4 servings) and preheat oven to 425°F. In a small pot, combine rice, ¾ cup water (1½ cups for 4) and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce to a low simmer. Cook until rice is tender, 15-18 minutes. Keep covered off heat until ready to serve.
- While rice cooks, wash and dry produce. Cut broccoli into bite-size pieces if necessary.
- Pat steak dry with paper towels; season all over with half the garlic powder (you’ll use the rest in the next step), salt and pepper. Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add steak and sear, turning occasionally, until browned all over, 4-8 minutes (it’ll finish cooking in the next step). Transfer steak to one side of a baking sheet. (For 4 servings, spread steak out across entire sheet.)
- On opposite side of sheet from steak, toss broccoli with a drizzle of oil, remaining garlic powder, salt and pepper. (For 4 servings, toss broccoli on a second baking sheet.) Roast on top rack until steak is cooked through and broccoli is browned and tender, 12-15 minutes. (For 4, roast broccoli on top rack and steak on middle rack, swapping rack positions halfway through.) Transfer steak to a cutting board to rest for at least 5 minutes.
- While steak and broccoli roast, in a small bowl, combine chimichurri and sour cream.
- Thinly slice steak crosswise. Fluff rice with a fork; stir in 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings) until melted. Divide rice and broccoli between plates in separate sections. Top rice with steak; spoon creamy chimichurri over steak. Serve.
Recipe Tips
For best results, let the steak rest before slicing to keep it juicy.
If you prefer more char on the broccoli, broil for the last 1-2 minutes.
Adjust salt and pepper to taste throughout.
