Gaucho Beef Salad Or Sandwich Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat a charbroiler or grill to medium-high heat.
• Sprinkle beef tenderloins with salt and pepper. Place on charbroiler and cook 3 minutes on each side for medium. Set aside.
• Spread Chipotle Cream on both sides of rolls. Add a healthy amount of arugula. Place meat on top of greens. Add Chimmi-Churri and Onions. Place roll tops on sandwiches.
• Combine sour cream, lemon juice, garlic and chiles in a food processor. Pulse several times (do not overmix). Season to taste.
• Rough chop cilantro and parsley to desired thickness (some people like it pureed; I like it chunky). Add to a bowl with oil, oregano, garlic, lemon juice, paprika and chile flakes. Mix well, then add salt and pepper to taste. Let sit at room temperature for about 2 hours to infuse.
• Stir together vinegar and sugar in a bowl, then add onions. Let sit at room temperature for 15 minutes.

Steps:

• Brown the ground beef in a saute pan over medium-high heat for 8 to 10 minutes. Once the beef is browned, add the oregano and a pinch of salt, black pepper and crushed red pepper. Add the sliced onions and cumin and cook until the onions are translucent. Stir in the Spanish paprika. Simmer the filling over low heat for 15 minutes. Adjust the seasoning to taste. Let cool.
• Spoon 2 tablespoons of the filling into a disc of empanada dough. Fold the disc in half and close it by tightly twisting the edges. Repeat with the remaining filling.
• Heat the vegetable oil to 350 degrees F in a deep-fryer or heavy pot. In batches, fry the empanadas until golden brown, 5 to 6 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat a grill.
• Place all chimichurri sauce ingredients in a blender or food processor and pulse until well chopped, but not pureed. Reserve.
• Dissolve cayenne pepper and salt in 1 cup hot water. Transfer to a squeeze container.
• Place the steak directly over a hot grill, baste with the chimichurri grilling sauce, and grill until the outer portion of the meat reaches the desired degree of doneness. Remove the steak from the grill and slice long strips from the outer edges of the steak. Instruct guests to pick up a steak slice from the cutting board with their fingers, place it on a slice of baguette, and enjoy. Return the remaining steak to the grill, baste, and grill until more of the steak is cooked. Remove and repeat the slicing and serving procedure until steak is consumed. For extra spicy steak, baste 2 or 3 additional times with the cayenne pepper mixture during grilling process. Spoon chimichurri sauce over steak. (Also brilliant on any grilled fish or chicken)
