GAUCHO RIB-EYE STEAKS

Steps:

• Pat the steaks dry using a paper towel. Place the remaining ingredients in large zip-top bag. Gently massage bag to combine ingredients; then add steaks. Let marinate in refrigerator for 1 to 3 hours.
• Set up grill for direct cooking over high heat. Oil grate when ready to start cooking.
• Remove steaks from refrigerator and let come to room temperature, approximately 20 to 30 minutes. Remove steaks from marinade, discard marinade.
• Place steaks on hot oiled grill and cook for 6 to 8 minutes per side for medium. Transfer steaks to a platter and let rest 5 minutes before serving.

GAUCHO STUFFED RIB EYE STEAK

Steps:

• If grilling, preheat the grill. In a small saucepan over moderate heat, heat the olive oil until hot. Add the serranos and saute until the skins start to brown and the chiles soften, about 2 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Add the garlic and cook over low heat until soft and lightly browned, 4 to 6 minutes. Transfer to paper towels and let cool. With a paring knife, make five or six 1-inch horizontal slits along the edge of each steak. Stuff each slit with either a garlic clove or chile. Season all over with salt and pepper. Grill the steaks, or saute in a lightly oiled cast iron pan over high heat, 2 to 3 minutes per side for medium rare. Coat serving plates with the green chile paste and top each with a steak. Serve hot.
• In a blender combine all of the ingredients and puree until a chunky paste is formed. Serve at room temperature.

STEAK GAUCHO-STYLE WITH ARGENTINIAN CHIMICHURRI SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat a grill.
• Place all chimichurri sauce ingredients in a blender or food processor and pulse until well chopped, but not pureed. Reserve.
• Dissolve cayenne pepper and salt in 1 cup hot water. Transfer to a squeeze container.
• Place the steak directly over a hot grill, baste with the chimichurri grilling sauce, and grill until the outer portion of the meat reaches the desired degree of doneness. Remove the steak from the grill and slice long strips from the outer edges of the steak. Instruct guests to pick up a steak slice from the cutting board with their fingers, place it on a slice of baguette, and enjoy. Return the remaining steak to the grill, baste, and grill until more of the steak is cooked. Remove and repeat the slicing and serving procedure until steak is consumed. For extra spicy steak, baste 2 or 3 additional times with the cayenne pepper mixture during grilling process. Spoon chimichurri sauce over steak. (Also brilliant on any grilled fish or chicken)
