Chimichurri Steak

Chimichurri Steak

I've been thinking about making this one for a while, and finally got around to finding a night to try it out! The chimichurri sauce is full of big flavors that compliment steak perfectly! This chimichurri is based off of Anthony Bourdain's version, with a few modifications.


The Recipe:

• 1 1/2 Cups Olive Oil
• 1/4 Red Wine Vinegar
• 1 Cup Finely-Chopped Fresh Parsley
• 1 Cup Finely-Chopped Fresh Cilantro
• 1/2 Teaspoon Cayenne Pepper
• 1/2 Teaspoon Paprika
• 1/2 Teaspoon Oregano
• 1/4 Teaspoon Pepper
• 4 Cloves Garlic, Minced
• Juice of Half a Lime
• Juice of Half a Lemon
• Salt to taste
• 1 Top Sirloin, About 2 Pounds

Combine all ingredients in a bowl and stir until combined. Marinate the top sirloin in a plastic storage bag for at least 1 hour. Then, it's time for the grill. I grilled this top sirloin using the reverse sear method.

Chimichurri Steak Ready for the Grill

While the top sirloin was on the grill, I put the remaining marinade on the stove. Once it came to a simmer, I turned down the heat. Now, I had a sauce for my steak! I served this top sirloin along side some crinkle cut sweet potato fries!

Greek Salad Dressing

Lately, I've been more and more interested in making things myself, instead of buying them from the grocery store. From spaghetti sauce to barbecue sauce to various vinaigrettes, the flavors that come from these home made version knock the store bought items of the water. It may seem like it takes more time to make these items yourself, bought they are all super easy. And, the items use are probably all in your pantry already! Today I'm sharing a new recipe for Greek Salad Dressing!

Combine the ingredients in a mason jar and shake for a few
minutes to combine. 

The Recipe:

• 1/2 Cup Olive Oil
• 1/3 Cup Red Wine Vinegar
• 2 Garlic Cloves - Minced
• 1 Tablespoon Dijon Mustard
• 1 Large Lemon - Juiced
• 1 Teaspoon Thyme
• 1 Teaspoon Basil
• 1 Teaspoon Oregano
• 1 Teaspoon Parsley
• Salt and Pepper

This recipe is really simple. Just combine the ingredients and mix. I like to put all of the ingredients in medium sized mason jar so I can store for it later. Just put all of the ingredients in the jar and give it a shake. Now to pick out some salad ingredients!

Happy eating!
