Argentinian Bavette Steak
with Roasted Veggies, Cheesy Bread & Chimichurri
- Milk
- Soy
- Wheat
Argentina is famous for its beef and magical, bright sauce: chimichurri—tangy, herbaceous, and a great complement to the earthy meat. This version is made with parsley, garlic, onion, vinegar, and chili powder, and is spooned over a bavette steak (so flavorful it’s called “the butcher’s cut”). On the side, as often seen on Argentine tables, cheese bread—ours a melty, toasty version—and a slew of garlicky roasted green beans, bell pepper, and red onion. ¡Olé!

Cooking Steps
• Adjust racks to middle and top positions and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Bring garlic herb butter to room temperature. Wash and dry produce. • Trim green beans, if necessary. Halve, core, and thinly slice bell pepper into strips. Halve, peel, and cut onion into ½-inch-thick wedges; mince a few wedges until you have 1 TBSP (2 TBSP for 4 servings). Finely chop parsley. • Combine ¼ tsp garlic powder (½ tsp for 4) and ¼ tsp chili powder (½ tsp for 4) in a small bowl. (You’ll use the rest of the garlic powder and chili powder later.)
• Toss green beans, bell pepper, and onion wedges on a baking sheet with a large drizzle of oil, remaining garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Roast on middle rack until browned and tender, 15-20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, add parsley, minced onion, 1½ TBSP olive oil (3 TBSP for 4 servings), and 1 tsp vinegar (2 tsp for 4) to bowl with reserved garlic powder and chili powder. Stir to combine; season with salt and pepper. TIP: Add a little more vinegar if you prefer a tangier chimichurri.
• Halve ciabatta lengthwise and spread with half the garlic herb butter. Place on a second baking sheet and top with Italian cheese blend. Set aside (you’ll finish the cheesy bread in Step 6).
• Pat steak dry with paper towels; season all over with remaining chili powder, salt, and pepper. • Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add steak and cook to desired doneness, 4-7 minutes per side. • Remove pan from heat. Add remaining garlic herb butter to pan; spoon melted butter over steak until coated. Transfer steak to a cutting board to rest for at least 5 minutes.
• When veggies are done, remove from oven. • Transfer baking sheet with cheesy bread to top rack; broil until cheese is golden and bubbly, 2-3 minutes. TIP: Watch carefully to make sure it doesn’t burn!
• Slice cheesy bread on a diagonal into triangles. Slice steak against the grain. • Divide steak, veggies, and cheesy bread between plates. Spoon half the chimichurri over steak. Serve with remaining chimichurri on the side for dipping.
Steak is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 145°.

Review summary
Updated on Sep 2026- Flavor: The chimichurri and garlic herb butter elevated the steak beautifully; some found the chili powder rub a bit overpowering, so adjust to taste 🌶️.
- Ease of prep: Most found this straightforward and rewarding; a few noted the steak cook times can vary depending on thickness, so use a thermometer for best results.
- Suggestions: Slice the steak against the grain and let it rest fully before cutting — this helps with tenderness. Reduce the chili powder by half if you prefer a milder crust, and add a splash more vinegar to the chimichurri if you like it tangier. One reviewer broiled the steak instead of pan-frying it with great results.
- Leftovers: Leftover chimichurri keeps well and is delicious on bread or as a dip; one reviewer made great sandwiches from leftover steak and cheesy bread the next day.
- Steak quality: Many reviewers noted the bavette steak can be chewy or fatty — trim visible fat and silver skin before cooking, and avoid overcooking, as even medium-rare can turn tough with this cut.
Reviews from our home cooks
DELICIOUS! Meat done to perfection, flavorful, savory and tangy with the chimichurri. Roasted vegetables were sweet and savory, and the garlic cheesy bread was chewy and doughy.
Delicious! The veggies and chimichurri go great with the steak. However the cheesy bread was a bit bland, I added the chimichurri to it and that worked. Perhaps add some spices to the cheesy bread too?
TONS of veggies, very filling. Great sauce, and really nice cut of steak. My partner that doesn't like steak even liked this. The cheese bread tasted like pizza which was interesting. Might need some kind of spice to skew it more South American, but still really good.
The recipe for the chimichurri does not come out tasting like chimichurri. I just ate it with a different sauce. The sauce could take some direction from the creamy cilantro steak bowl sauce. Cream component, fresh garlic instead of powder, minced onion or something. Idk, I'm not a chef. Cheese bread needs to be eaten quickly and IMMEDIATELY. Combination of flavors was reliable. Boring/Not bad - Taste 2/4 stars.
We loved how many vegetables there were. The steaks were tender, and the cheese bread good. I would have preferred cheese bread bites, like Brazi bites, made of tapioca flour mainly.
I did not think I would like the vinegar flavor of the Chimichurri, so I put it on the side. It was fabulous, so I did add it on top of the steak. The steak was tender and flavorful!
Love the steak dishes, always so tender. I like my chimichurri with cilantro was given parsley only but i understand most people don't like cilantro so that might of been on purpose. Still very good either way. Would order again
The chimichurri brought so much to this, and I liked having bread as the side. That made me fuller, so I didn't feel like I needed to eat again after dinner.
This dish by far was the most amazing one I have had I loved everything about it the flavors and the peppers and the chimichurri paired so good together and made for such a delicious meal
Step 4, prep cheesy bread - the garlic herb butter was easily used up, leaving none for step 5, cooking the steak. Would be helpful in the ingredients section to include a mention of which step they'll be used on (just a thought).
