Chimichurri Steaks With Sweet Potato Fries Onion Rings Recipes

CHIMICHURRI STEAKS WITH SWEET POTATO FRIES & ONION RINGS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Toss the sweet potatoes with 2 tsp of the oil, half the oregano and some seasoning, and arrange in a single layer on a flat baking tray lined with baking parchment.
• Put 1 tsp of the oil into a food bag with seasoning, add the onion rings and shake to coat. Add the polenta and shake again. Arrange on another tray and cook with the fries for 35 mins, turning halfway.
• Mix the remaining oil, the parsley, lemon zest and juice, garlic, vinegar and oregano with seasoning, and brush half over the steaks. Pan-fry for 30 secs each side, serve with fries, onion rings and remaining dressing.

STEAKS WITH CHIMICHURRI

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.

CHIMICHURRI SAUCE FOR STEAKS

Steps:

• In a blender or food processor, combine the parsley, garlic, oil, vinegar, lemon juice, salt, ground black pepper and cayenne pepper. Mix well, but do not puree.

CHIMICHURRI CAULIFLOWER STEAKS WITH MASHED SWEET POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• For the cauliflower: Remove the outer green leaves from the head of cauliflower and trim the stem. Using a large knife, cut the cauliflower in half lengthwise, through the core. Cut a 1 1/2-inch thick steak from each half (save the remaining cauliflower for another use).
• Place the steaks on the prepared baking sheet and season with salt and pepper on both sides.
• Whisk the oil, lemon juice, paprika, garlic powder and coriander together in a small bowl. Brush half of the mixture on the top of the steaks, flip them and brush the remaining mixture on the other side. Roast the steaks until golden brown, about 15 minutes, flipping halfway through.
• For the mashed sweet potatoes: While the cauliflower roasts, bring a small saucepan of water to a boil. Add the sweet potatoes and a pinch of salt and cook until fork tender, 10 to 12 minutes. Drain, return to the saucepan and cover to keep warm.
• Just before serving, with the back of a fork or potato masher, mash the potatoes until smooth. Add the warm soy milk and continue to mash. Grate the garlic clove into the saucepan, add a pinch each of salt and pepper and stir to combine. Keep warm.
• For the chimichurri: Combine all the chimichurri ingredients in a small bowl and stir to combine. Set aside.
• Spread the mashed potatoes on plates and top with cauliflower steaks. Drizzle with some of the chimichurri. Serve and enjoy!
