Sounds fancy, eh? Chimichurri comes all the way from them Argies and is a tasty sauce for fresh meat! It's as easy as you after a night at the bingo and tastes phenomenal! It's a cool colour too, so the kids will love it.
The beauty with this is that you can have it with whatever you want! We had ours with chips because we're common and it's our default position. We had some left over the next day and slipped it into sandwiches and it was just as good! Sex up your meaty flaps tonight.
Ingredients
- 4 good steaks
- 2 big bunches of basil
- 2 big bunches of parsley
- 2 big bunches of mint
- 2 big bunches of chives
- 4 green chillis
- 2 tsp capers
- 2 limes
- 1 tbsp olive oil (6 syns)
- salt
- pepper
Instructions
- firstly, take the steak out of the fridge and bring it up to room temperature
- next, finely chop all of the herbs, chillis and capers - if you can't be arsed, do what we did and chuck it all in a food processor
- zest and juice the limes and add the olive oil, and mix well
- sprinkle a little salt and pepper over the steaks and cook to your liking
- as the meat is cooking, dollop the chimichurri sauce onto a chopping board and gently spread out into a large square big enough for the steaks to sit on
- when the steak is cooked, place on top of the chimichurri and leave to rest for a few minutes
- slice the steak and use a knife to spread the chimichurri sauce all over it - like it's getting a facial
- serve
Notes
- remember: this recipe is for four - if you're only making it for two people just halve everything
- any steak will do - it doesn't have to be fancy, we used sirloin from Muscle Food
- fresh herbs are always best if you can get them
- we used our Tefal Optigrill to cook the steak perfectly - if you've got one, just press the 'steak' button and then wait until the light shows your desired level of 'doneness'!
- don't be tempted to skimp on the oil in this one - it's worth it, and it's only a few syns!
