Prepare tender, bite-sized pieces of filet mignon quickly pan-seared and served with a fresh, bright chimichurri sauce. This recipe works well for appetizers or a main dish.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lb filet mignon, trimmed and cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil, for searing
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley, packed
  • 1/2 cup fresh cilantro, packed
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
  • 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare the chimichurri: Combine parsley, cilantro, garlic, red wine vinegar, 1/2 cup olive oil, oregano, red pepper flakes, and salt in a food processor. Pulse until the mixture is finely chopped but still has texture. Do not over-process into a paste. Set aside.
  2. Pat the filet mignon cubes dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt and pepper.
  3. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  4. Add the steak cubes to the hot skillet in a single layer, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Work in batches if necessary.
  5. Sear the steak for 2 to 3 minutes per side for medium-rare, turning to brown all sides. Adjust time for your preferred doneness.
  6. Remove the steak bites from the skillet and let them rest briefly on a cutting board.
  7. Serve the warm filet mignon bites immediately with the prepared chimichurri sauce on the side for dipping or spooned over the top.

Notes

  • For best results, let the chimichurri sit for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
  • If you do not have a food processor, finely chop all the chimichurri herbs and garlic by hand.
  • You can thread the steak cubes onto small skewers before searing for easy serving as an appetizer.
