STEAK WITH CHIMICHURRI SAUCE

Steps:

• To make the chimichurri, blitz the parsley, oregano, garlic, shallot and chilli flakes in a food processor or chop very finely by hand. Add 2 tbsp of the olive oil, the lemon juice, vinegar and some seasoning, and pulse to combine everything to a saucy consistency.
• Rub the remaining oil and a little seasoning into the steaks. Heat a griddle or frying pan and cook the steaks for 2-3 mins on each side or until done to your liking. Rest for a few mins, then spoon over the sauce and serve with fries and salad.

STEAKS WITH CHIMICHURRI

Steps:

• First, make the chimichurri by placing the herbs and garlic into a food processor (or blender). Add the vinegar, red pepper flakes, salt and black pepper to taste.
• Pulse it a few times then continue pulsing while adding 3/4 cup of the olive oil. Keep pulsing until the mixture is pulverized, leaving just a little texture from the herbs. Transfer to a bowl, then cover and refrigerate until you need it (you can make it up to 1 day ahead, though it's best to make it the same day).
• Season the steak on both sides with salt and pepper. Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat and add the butter and remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil. When it's melted and starting to brown, add a steak. Fry until medium rare, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Remove the steak and let it rest for 3 minutes. (If you're frying more steaks, just add a little more butter and oil to the pan as needed.)
• Slice the steak. Serve it with the chimichurri on the side.

CHIMICHURRI STEAK

Steps:

• Prep and roast the vegetables: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Remove the steak from the fridge and bring to room temperature. Halve the tomatoes. Core, seed, and remove the white ribs from the bell pepper, then cut the pepper into 1-inch cubes. Toss the tomatoes and peppers on a baking sheet with a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. Place in the oven for about 15 minutes, until very soft.
• Make the chimichurri: Finely chop the parsley. Halve, peel, and mince the shallot. Mince or grate the garlic. In a small bowl, combine the parsley, 2 teaspoons red wine vinegar (we sent you more), a large drizzle of olive oil, and as much shallot, garlic, and chili flakes as you like. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Cook the couscous: In a medium pot, bring 1 cup water and a large pinch of salt to a boil. Once boiling, add the couscous and cumin. Cover and remove from the heat until the rest of the meal is ready.
• Sear the steak: Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over mediumhigh heat. Pat dry the steak with a paper towel. Season it on all sides with salt and pepper and add to the pan, cooking for 4-7 minutes per side, or until cooked to desired doneness. Remove from the pan and set aside to rest for 5 minutes.
• Make the couscous salad: Toss the roasted vegetables into the couscous along with the butter and a pinch of salt and pepper.
• Finish and plate: Thinly slice the steak and serve on a bed of couscous salad. Drizzle with the chimichurri and enjoy!

Steps:

• Tenderize the skirt steak by pounding it lightly. Sprinkle the steak with kosher salt and black pepper, keeping in mind that there is salt and pepper in the marinade. Transfer to a bowl or dish and add the 1/2 cup chimichurri sauce. Marinate, refrigerated, at least 10 hours or overnight.
• When ready to cook the steak, heat a grill or saute pan to medium heat. Remove the steak from the marinade (discard the marinade). Grill the steak to medium-rare, 4 to 5 minutes per side, or cook to desired temperature or doneness. Let the steak rest for 5 minutes before slicing in thin strips on the bias.
