Steak And Halibut Chimichurri 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:

• Heat oven to 150 degrees. On stovetop, heat cast-iron skillet to very hot. Brush steaks with 1/2 tablespoon oil. Season with salt and pepper. Sear steaks in skillet very briefly, less than a minute a side, just enough to brown. Place meat in a baking dish in oven for 1 1/2 hours.
• For chimichurri, combine parsley, thyme, garlic and shallot in food processor and pulse until minced. Transfer to a bowl, add vinegar, paprika and 5 tablespoons oil. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside. Heat remaining oil in skillet used for meat, add mushrooms and sauté until wilted. Season with salt. Set aside.
• When steaks are done, slice and place on a platter. Reheat mushrooms, remove from heat, toss with chimichurri and arrange alongside steak.

Steps:

• Whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, water, garlic, shallot, red-pepper flakes, and 1/2 tsp each of salt and pepper until salt has dissolved. Stir in parsley. Let chimichurri stand 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, prepare grill for direct-heat cooking over medium-hot charcoal (medium heat for gas).
• Pat fish dry, then brush with vegetable oil and sprinkle with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp pepper (total).
• Oil grill rack, then grill fish, covered only if using a gas grill, turning once, until just cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes total.
• Serve fish drizzled with some of chimichurri; serve remainder on the side.

Steps:

• To make the chimichurri, blitz the parsley, oregano, garlic, shallot and chilli flakes in a food processor or chop very finely by hand. Add 2 tbsp of the olive oil, the lemon juice, vinegar and some seasoning, and pulse to combine everything to a saucy consistency.
• Rub the remaining oil and a little seasoning into the steaks. Heat a griddle or frying pan and cook the steaks for 2-3 mins on each side or until done to your liking. Rest for a few mins, then spoon over the sauce and serve with fries and salad.

Steps:

• To make chimichurri sauce mix oil, lime juice, garlic, onion, cilantro, oregano, salt, cayenne and black pepper (can be made up to 3 days ahead and refrigerated, covered).
• In plastic food-storage bag, combine 1/3 cup chimichurri sauce and steaks; seal.
• Cut halibut fillet into 4 serving pieces. In a second plastic food-storage bag, combine 1/3 cup chimichurri sauce and halibut; seal.
• Reserve remaining 1/3 cup sauce.
• Marinate steak and halibut in refrigerator 30 minutes.
• Prepare outdoor grill with hot coals arranged for direct grilling, or heat gas grill for direct grilling. Remove steak and halibut from marinade; discard marinade.
• Grill steak and halibut 10 minutes, covered, turning steak after 5 minutes for medium-rare, and halibut flakes when prodded with a fork. Serve steak and fish with reserved chimichurri sauce.

Steps:

• With a sharp knife, score the meat in a crisscross pattern, 6-8 times per side.
• The cuts should be shallow, no more than 1/4 inch deep.
• Place meat in a 9x13-inch baking dish and drizzle 3 tablespoons of red wine vinegar and 3 tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil over the meat and let this marinate while you prepare the sauce.
• To prepare the sauce, combine remaining vinegar and oil, parsley, garlic, shallot, lemon juice, paprika, salt, and the pepper in a blender or food processor and puree until smooth.
• Heat grill or grill pan over medium-high heat until hot.
• Pat steaks dry with paper towels and then sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste and cook 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare.
• Let steaks rest for 5 minutes, then cut them into thin slices on an angle, across the grain.
• Drizzle with the chimichurri sauce on top and serve.

Steps:

• Place chopped parsley in small metal bowl. Whisk in 1/2 cup olive oil, lemon juice, garlic and crushed red pepper. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Refrigerate at least 4 hours. (Can be made 1 day ahead.) Bring to room temperature before using.
• Heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle both sides of steaks with salt and pepper. Add steaks to skillet and cook until desired doneness, about 3 minutes per side for medium-rare. Slice steaks crosswise and arrange on platter. Spoon chimichurri sauce over and serve.
