Grilled Aged Shell Steaks With Chimichurri Recipes

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.

Steps:

• To prepare sauce: Combine parsley, oregano, garlic, oil, vinegar, lemon juice, salt, and crushed red pepper in a small bowl.
• To prepare steak: Preheat grill to medium-high. Rub 1 Tbsp. of the sauce evenly over steak; sprinkle with salt. Grill the steak to the desired degree of doneness (130 degrees F for medium-rare), 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a clean cutting board and let stand for 10 minutes.
• Slice the steak across the grain. Divide the steak slices among 4 plates and spoon the remaining sauce over the top.

GRILLED STEAK SANDWICHES WITH CHIMICHURRI AND BELL PEPPERS

Steps:

• Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Combine first 6 ingredients in processor; add 2/3 cup oil and puree until almost smooth. Season chimichurri with salt and pepper.
• Brush pepper strips, steaks, and cut side of bread with remaining 1/4 cup oil. Sprinkle peppers and steaks with salt and pepper. Grill peppers until tender, about 5 minutes per side. Grill steaks to desired doneness, about 4 minutes per side for medium-rare. Grill bread, cut side down, until beginning to brown lightly, about 2 minutes. Thinly slice steaks crosswise; divide among bread bottoms. Spoon chimichurri over steak (about 1/4 cup per sandwich), then top with pepper strips. Cover with bread tops and serve.
• Recipe Remix:. Toss any remaining chimichurri sauce with potato wedges and roast in 400°F oven until just tender, about 40 minutes.

GRILLED STEAK WITH 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.
