Grilled Chorizo Shrimp And Beef With Chimichurri Sauce Recipes

GRILLED CHORIZO SHRIMP AND BEEF WITH CHIMICHURRI SAUCE RECIPE

Steps:

• Using a meat mallet, pound the skirt steak out thinly. Cut the steak into 1-1/2 inch strips and skewer on wooden skewers. Skewer the shrimp in a similar fashion on additional skewers. Each skewer should contain only a single piece of food to be grilled. Cut the sausage into diagonal slices and also skewer. Place the skewered meats onto platters and lightly marinate in olive oil. Refrigerate until ready to cook. Marinate not longer than overnight. Prepare the chimichurri dipping sauce: Combine all the chimichurri ingredients in a large bowl, mix well and set aside. Make the chimichurri well in advance of cooking. (It can be prepared 3 days in advance and kept refrigerated for up to a week.) Prepare a medium-hot fire on a well-oiled outdoor grill or indoor stove-top grill pan. Carefully drain all excess oil from the skewered meats and fish, and season with salt and pepper. Cook each skewered anticucho for 2-3 minutes or until charred and fully cooked. Serve the anticuchos on a platter, drizzle chimichurri over the top or serve separately.

SHRIMP AND CHORIZO MIXED GRILL

Steps:

• Prepare a grill for 2-zone heat (for a charcoal grill, bank two-thirds of coals on two-thirds of grill and scatter remaining coals over remaining area; for a gas grill, set one burner to medium-low heat and the remaining burners to medium-high heat).
• Make the Sour Cream Sauce
• Purée sour cream, cilantro, mayonnaise, jalapeño, lime juice, and salt in a blender until smooth; chill until ready to use.
• Do Ahead: Sour cream sauce can be made 1 day ahead. Keep chilled.
• Make the Dressing
• Whisk oil, lime juice, garlic, cilantro, honey, and salt in a large bowl.
• Grill and Assemble
• Toss shrimp, chili powder, and 1 tsp. salt in a medium bowl.
• Grill cabbage wedges over direct heat, turning occasionally, until deeply charred on cut surfaces and crisp-tender, about 20 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and let cool slightly.
• Meanwhile, grill sausages over indirect heat, turning often, until nicely charred and cooked through, 10-15 minutes. Transfer to a platter and cover with a kitchen towel to keep warm.
• Lightly oil grill grate. Place asparagus onto grill, orienting them perpendicular to grate so they don't fall through the gaps. Grill, turning often, until lightly charred and crisp-tender, 5-7 minutes. Transfer to bowl with dressing and toss to coat. Transfer to platter alongside sausages, leaving remaining dressing in bowl.
• Oil grate again if needed, then grill shrimp over direct heat, turning often, until lightly charred and cooked through, 5-7 minutes. Transfer to platter with sausage.
• Slice charred cabbage wedges lengthwise into 1/4"-thick strips, then toss with remaining dressing; season with remaining 1/4 tsp. salt. Add to platter.
• Serve with lime wedges and sour cream sauce alongside.

GRILLED SHRIMP WITH CHIMICHURRI

Steps:

• Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes. Heat grill to high.
• Season shrimp with salt and pepper. Drizzle with oil and toss to coat. Thread onto skewers. Grill over high heat, turning once, until curled and opaque, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Brush and serve with chimichurri and grilled peppers and tomatoes.

GRILLED BEEF WITH CHIMICHURRI SAUCE

Steps:

• In a glass bowl, combine the oil, vinegar, lime juice, oregano, parsley, garlic and crushed red pepper. Season with salt, pepper and cayenne.
• Place beef in a zip-lock plastic bag and add 3/4 cup (200ml) chimichurri sauce. Remove excess air from bag, seal it, and turn bag several times to coat beef with the sauce. Marinate in refrigerator for 2 hours. Cover the remaining sauce and refrigerate.
• About 30 minutes before grilling, remove the beef and reserved sauce from the refrigerator. Soak wood chips in cold water. Heat a covered charcoal or gas grill to medium hot. Just before cooking toss the wood chips into the hot coals, or add the wood chips to the gas grill according to manufacturer's instructions.
• Grill the beef, turning occasionally and basting with the marinade from the bag until the outside is well browned and inside is cooked to desired degree, about 10 to 20 minutes. (A thermometer should register 125F°/52°C for medium-rare, or 135F°/57°C for medium.) Discard remaining marinade from the bag.
• Transfer beef to a cutting board and let rest 10 minutes. Slice and transfer to a warmed serving platter. Drizzle the slices with some of the reserved chimichurri sauce and serve while still hot.
• NOTE: If using a strip loin, leave a 1/2-inch (1.25cm) layer of fat around the roast. For individual steaks, cut the meat into 6-ounce (170g) portions, about 1 1/2 inches (3.75cm) thick. Sear in a hot pan for 2 minutes on each side, and then grill for 4 to 5 minutes on each side, or as desired.

CHORIZO AND BEEF SKEWERS WITH CHIMICHURRI

Steps:

• In a food processor, whirl the parsley and garlic until finely chopped. With machine running, add oil, vinegar and 1 tablespoon water in a steady stream. Season with red pepper flakes, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Pour about half of the chimichurri into a small bowl.
• Prepare grill. Season cubed beef with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Thread beef and chorizo pieces alternately onto skewers. Brush meat with the chimichurri sauce left in food processor.
• Grill skewers over direct high heat, with the lid closed as much as possible, until steak is cooked to your desired doneness, 4 to 6 minutes for medium-rare, turning 2 to 3 times (watch for flare-ups). Serve warm with the reserved chimichurri spooned over the top.
