Cooking at Home

This is a recipe I practiced with my sister and perfected after a few tries. One of the new ‘it’ ingredients these days is Chimichurri Sauce. Chimichurri is a South American sauce often used to marinate or sauce grilled meats. To make Chimichurri, you add a bunch of cilantro, 4 cloves of garlic, and the juice of 2 lemons to a blender, then slowly pour in good olive oil until the mixture is pureed together to form a thick liquid. Add salt, pepper and heat to taste. Marinate the beef in a plastic bag with a generous amount of the sauce for at least an hr.

 -Heat pan to med high heat, when the pan is heated add beef. Sear on both sides for approximately 5 minutes (time varies due to thickness of cut). If you have a particularly thick piece of beef, after searing place in a 350 degree oven for 10 minutes.

-Let the meat rest on a cutting board under aluminum foil.

-While the meat is resting sauté julienned peppers and onions in the pan with a small amount of excess Chimichurri and Worchestire in the meats drippings.

-After vegetables are cooked to your preferred doneness, slice meat thinly and against the grain. Serve over sautéed veggies.
