Tri Tip Steaks With Chimichurri And Garlic Aioli Recipes

Steps:

• Mix sesame seeds, paprika, 2 Tbsp. oil, 2 tsp. salt, and 2 tsp. pepper in a small bowl to combine. Rub all over steak and let sit at room temperature 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, prepare a grill for medium-high, indirect heat (for a charcoal grill, bank coals on one side of grill; for a gas grill, leave one or two burners off). Place steak over indirect heat, cover grill, and grill, turning once, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of steak registers 115°F, 20-30 minutes. Move steak to direct heat and grill until lightly charred, about 2 minutes per side, or until an instant-read thermometer registers 120°F for medium-rare (temperature will continue to rise off heat). Transfer to a cutting board and let rest 10 minutes before slicing against the grain.
• While steak is resting, combine garlic, parsley, cilantro, vinegar, agave nectar, and remaining 1/2 cup oil; season with salt and pepper. Serve steak with chimichurri.

Steps:

• Arrange steaks in a single layer in a shallow nonreactive dish. Whisk together remaining ingredients, and pour over steaks. Cover, and marinate in the refrigerator, flipping occasionally, for at least 6 hours (or up to 2 days).
• Preheat grill to medium-high. (If you are using a charcoal grill, coals are ready when you can hold your hand 5 inches above grill for just 3 to 4 seconds.) Transfer steaks to plates, and pat dry; reserve marinade. Season steaks generously with salt and pepper. Cook over direct heat (the hotter part of the grill) until browned and caramelized, about 4 minutes per side, then move to indirect heat (the cooler part of the grill) and continue cooking until a meat thermometer registers 135 degrees for medium-rare, about 5 minutes more. Transfer to a platter, cover, and let rest, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Bring marinade to a boil in a saucepan; let boil 5 minutes. Pour over steaks, or serve on the side. Season steaks with salt and pepper. Serve with chimichurri and aioli, and garnish with bay leaves, fresh chiles, oregano, and bell pepper.

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.
