Chimichurri Steak And Potato Skewers Sp5 Recipes

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.

Steps:

• Make the pickled red onion: Combine the cider vinegar, sugar and 1 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl and whisk to dissolve. Add the red onion and 2 tablespoons cilantro and stir to combine. Cover and set aside at room temperature, 1 hour.
• Meanwhile, soak 20 wooden skewers in warm water, at least 20 minutes. Slice the flank steak against the grain into 20 strips, about 1/8 inch thick. Thread the meat accordion-style onto the skewers and set aside until ready to grill.
• Combine the remaining cilantro, the garlic, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, red pepper flakes, 1/2 teaspoon salt and the olive oil in a blender and puree until smooth; transfer to a small bowl.
• Heat a grill or grill pan to medium high. Season the steak with salt and pepper. Brush the grill with olive oil, then grill the skewers until marked, about 1 minute per side. Serve with the chimichurri and pickled onion.

Steps:

• Steam potatoes 10 minutes or until tender, rinse under cold water and toss with dressing, mustard and scallions. Chill or serve at room temperature.
• Heat stove top grill pan. Rub steaks with paprika and salt. Grill 2 to 3 minutes on each side for medium-rare. Remove to plate, let stand.
• Pulse garlic and cilantro in food processor until finely chopped. Remove to bowl, stir in olive oil, lime juice and hot pepper flakes. Spoon onto steak.

Steps:

• In 2 quart microwave-safe bowl combine Simply Potatoes and water. Cover; microwave on HIGH 4 minutes or until potatoes are almost fork tender. Drain and cool slightly.
• Place cooled potatoes, beef, onion and mushrooms in 1 gallon plastic resealable bag; add chimichurri sauce. Seal bag; turning gently to coat. Refrigerate 30 minutes or longer.
• Heat charcoal or gas grill to medium heat. Thread beef, potatoes, onion (or bell pepper) and mushrooms on 6 (10 to 12 inch) metal or soaked wooden skewers. Grill skewers 10 minutes or until beef is done to desired doneness and potatoes are tender, turning once. Drizzle with additional chimichurri sauce; if desired.
