Mexican Steak With Chimichurri Sauce Food

GRILLED STEAK TACOS RECIPE

Steps:

• In a large bowl, mix together ingredients for the marinade. Place steak and onions in the bowl and toss with marinade. Let sit at room temp for at least 30 minutes, turning occasionally. (Or marinate for up to 3 hours in the fridge, bringing to room temp before grilling.) Pre-heat the grill to mediump-high heat. Grease the grill. Grill steak on med-high heat to the desired doneness. I usually cook to medium-rare, 5-7 mins each side. Grill the onions and scallions untio tender and charred. A little char is good on the steak here too. Let rest for 10 minutes, covered in foil, before thinly slicing the meat across the grain.
• Either chop everything finely and place all ingredients in a bowl, or alternatively place all dry ingredients in a food processor, pulsing several times until chopped. Add oil, lime juice, cumin, coriander, and salt. Pulse repeatedly until combined, but not too smooth. Add more oil if you want a looser sauce. Set aside in a small serving bowl.
• Finely dice tomato, onion, jalapeño and cilantro. Season with salt, pepper and lime. Sometimes I'll add diced avocado and a couple splashes of Tapatio hot sauce. Place all in a bowl, mix and let sit for 15 min to 1 hour (makes 2 Cups)
• In a small saucepan, combine water, vinegar, sugar, salt and peppercorns or coriander seeds. Add your choice of sliced radishes, slivered onions, thinly sliced carrots or whatever else you like. Bring to a boil. Remove and place in freezer for 10-15 minutes (or refrigerate until cold). Remove and place in a serving bowl or jar. Top with a little fresh cilantro. Or you could make pickled red onions instead.
• lightly grill, until soft and pliable (or grill directly on a gas burner. flipping and turning for 30 seconds) wrap up in a towel, to prevent drying.
• Serve everything together, along with any additional garnishes.

CHURRASCO STEAK WITH CHIMICHURRI

Steps:

• For the marinade: In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the grapeseed oil, garlic, onions, oregano and orange juice. Add the steaks and marinate for 24 hours in the refrigerator to flavor and tenderize the meat.
• For the chimichurri: In a bowl, combine the garlic, lime zest and juice, cilantro, parsley, oregano, vinegar, chile flakes, olive oil and some salt and pepper. Mix well, then cover and refrigerate overnight to allow the flavors to bloom.
• Lightly sprinkle the steaks with salt and pepper and place them on a very hot grill for 3 minutes on each side. Remove the steaks to a plate to rest. Top with butter and lime juice to build flavor.
• Plate each steak with 1 cup of the white rice; spoon some chimichurri over the steaks. Serve with the remaining chimichurri on the side.

SKIRT STEAK WITH CHIMICHURRI SAUCE

Steps:

• In the bowl of a food processor, combine the olive oil, sherry vinegar, lemon juice, parsley, basil, oregano, garlic and shallots. Pulse until well blended but do not puree. Add 1/4 teaspoon of the black pepper, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and the crushed red pepper. Remove 1 cup of the chimichurri sauce from the processor and transfer to a non-reactive bowl, cover with plastic wrap and reserve at room temperature for up to 6 hours. (If cooking steak another day, refrigerate sauce and return to room temperature before serving.)
• Season the steak with 1 teaspoon of the kosher salt on each side, as well as 1/4 teaspoon of the black pepper per side and place in a large, resealable plastic bag. Add the remaining chimichurri sauce from the processor. Seal bag and refrigerate the steak for at least 2 and up to 4 hours.
• Preheat a grill to medium heat.
• Once the steak has finished marinating, remove it from the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature for 30 minutes. Brush the excess chimichurri sauce off the steak and set the steak over the hot grill. Cook for 6 minutes on the first side. Rotate the steak 45 degrees, and cook another 6 minutes. Turn the steak over and continue to cook until the steak is done, about 6 to 8 minutes for medium-rare. Once cooked, lay the steak on a clean cutting board, and allow it to rest for 5 to 7 minutes before slicing across the grain into 2-inch wide strips. Serve with crusty bread and the reserved chimichurri sauce.

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.

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.

FLANK STEAK WITH CHIMICHURRI SAUCE

Steps:

• Make the chimichurri sauce: Add all the sauce ingredients to a small food processor. Pulse 4 to 6 times, until the herbs are roughly chopped and chunky. Transfer to a serving bowl.
• Cook the steak: Pat the flank steak dry with a paper towel. Season generously with salt and a pinch of ground pepper. Place in a medium bowl and drizzle with the olive oil and soy sauce. Add the onion to the bowl and give it all a massage until combined.
• Heat a grill to high for at least 5 minutes. If using a charcoal or gas grill, wipe the grill grates with a lightly oiled paper towel right before cooking to clean off any char and debris. This will give you a great grill mark and help keep the beef from sticking. Alternatively, place a grill pan over high heat and preheat for at least 5 minutes. Rub a little oil on the pan or spray with nonstick cooking spray.
• Grill the steak for about 3 minutes, or until well browned on one side. Turn the steak over and add the onion to the grill. Cook for another 2 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 125 degrees F (52 degrees C) for medium-rare, or to your desired doneness (see Cook's Note). You just want the onions slightly charred but still crunchy. Transfer the steak and onions to a cutting board and allow to rest, tented with foil, for 5 minutes. Slice the steak against the grain into 1-inch (2.5-cm) planks. Serve the steak over the onions and drizzle with the chimichurri sauce.

CHIMICHURRI SKIRT STEAK WITH GRILLED SHISHITO PEPPERS

Steps:

• Add the vinegar, scallions, garlic, cilantro, 1/3 cup of the olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt and a generous amount of pepper to a blender. Blend until smooth. Reserve 1/3 cup. Marinate the skirt steak in a large resealable plastic bag with the remaining chimichurri for 2 hours or up to overnight.
• Preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat and brush the grates with oil.
• Remove the steak from the marinade, wipe off most of the excess marinade and sprinkle both sides with salt. Grill the steak, flipping once, until an instant-read thermometer registers 125 degrees F, 4 to 5 minutes per side (you may need to pull the thinner pieces of steak off first as they will cook quicker). Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Wipe the grill clean and reduce the heat to medium.
• Meanwhile, toss the shishito peppers with the remaining 1 tablespoon oil, Aleppo pepper and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Grill, flipping occasionally, until the peppers are blistered in spots and have softened, about 6 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and toss with the lime juice.
• Divide the peppers and steak among 4 plates and spoon the reserved chimichurri sauce over the top of the steak.

GAUCHO-GRILLED STEAK WITH CHIMICHURRI SAUCE

Steps:

• Combine the garlic, jalapeno and vinegar in a bowl. Stir in the parsley, oregano, and lime juice. Whisk in the olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Mix well and set aside at room temperature to allow the flavors to marry.
• Marinate the steak in olive oil for 30 minutes, turning to coat both sides.
• Preheat an outdoor charcoal grill or oven broiler to high. Remove the steak from the oil and season both sides with a generous amount of salt and pepper; you should see the seasoning on the meat. Grill the steaks on the hottest part of the barbecue for 4 minutes per side, until well charred. Transfer the steak to a cutting board and let stand for 5 minutes. Cut the steak across the grain on the diagonal and fan the slices out on a platter. Spoon some chimichurri over the meat and serve with the remaining sauce at the table.
