Chimichurri Steak Recipe Phase 3

Ingredients

4 steaks approximately 5-6 ounces each  (london broil, strip steak, sirloin, rib eye, etc.)

2 tablespoons butter

Salt and pepper to taste

Chimichurri Sauce Recipe Phase 3

Ingredients

1 bunch flat leaf parsley, minced 

1/4 cup red onions, minced

2 cloves garlic, crushed and minced

1/2 cup olive oil

1/4 cup lemon or lime juice, fresh squeezed

1/4 red wine vinegar

1/2 teaspoon chili pepper flakes

1 tablespoon fresh oregano

Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

Wash and trim parsley, cutting off the length of the stems.  Combine onions, garlic, spices, with liquid ingredients in a blender and pulse until blended.  Refrigerate chimichurri sauce until ready to use.  Coat each steak with 1 tablespoon of chimichurri sauce and marinate in the refrigerator for a minimum of one hour or overnight.  Discard marinade and fry your steak with a little butter or grill up on the barbecue.  I like to prepare my steaks medium rare – medium, but feel free to cook your steak to your own personal taste and level of doneness.  Allow steak to rest for 2-3 minutes before serving.  Cut steak into thin slices and serve with Phase 3 Chimichurri sauce over top or on the side as a dipping sauce.

Makes 4 servings
