Katie & Rollum gave John some New York strip steaks for his birthday. We decided to jazz them up with a chimichurri sauce from the Williams-Sonoma Food Made Fast Weeknight cookbook. So good! Paired with a recipe from Real Simple for Parmesan Roasted Potatoes.
Chimichurri Steak
Serves 4
1/3 cup olive oil
1/3 cup sherry vinegar
3 tbsp fresh oregano leaves
1/2 cup fresh flat-leaf (Italian) parsley
7 cloves garlic, coarsely chopped
1/2 - 3/4 tsp red pepper flakes
4 steaks, 1" thick
Salt
1. Marinate the steaks
In a food processor, combine the oil, vinegar, oregano, parsley, & garlic, & process until finely chopped. Pour into a shallow glass or ceramic dish large enough to hold the steaks in a single layer, & stir in the red pepper flakes to taste. Season the steaks with salt, then add them to the marinade & turn to coat. Let stand at room temperature for 10 minutes.
2. Cook the steaks
Meanwhile, prepare a gas or charcoal grill for direct-heat grilling over high heat & oil the grill rack. Or, preheat a broiler (grill). When ready to cook, remove the steaks from the marinade, reserving the marinade. Place the steaks on the grill rack, or put them on a baking sheet & place under the broiler. Brush the steaks with the remaining marinade. Cook, carefully turning once, for about 8 minutes total for medium-rare, or until done to your liking. Divide the steaks among 4 plates & serve.
