GRILLED PORTERHOUSE WITH CHIMICHURRI SAUCE

Steps:

• 1. About half an hour before grilling, bring steak to room temperature.
• 2. Pulse parsley, oregano, shallot, garlic, 2 teaspoons salt, and chile flakes in a small food processor until roughly chopped. Add vinegar, oil, and 1 tablespoon water and pulse to a textured sauce. Transfer sauce to a serving bowl.
• 3. Preheat grill to medium.
• 4. Brush steak with oil and season generously with salt and pepper. Grill steak until seared and lightly charred, turning once, about 11 minutes per side. Hold steak with tongs and sear edges. Cook until an instant-read thermometer, inserted into steak registers 125 degrees F for medium rare.
• 5. Transfer steak to a cutting board, cover loosely with foil, and rest for 10 minutes.
• Slice steak and serve with chimichurri sauce.

PORTERHOUSE STEAK WITH BROWN BUTTER, BLUE CHEESE AND CHIMICHURRI

Steps:

• Make the chimichurri: Combine all of the herbs in a medium bowl. Add the oil, garlic and chile flakes and stir to combine. Let sit for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld. Stir in the vinegar just before serving to keep the color bright green. Season with salt and pepper, then taste and add honey, if needed.
• Meanwhile, prepare the steak: Let the steak sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before cooking. This will help it cook quickly and more evenly.
• Preheat the broiler. Heat a large ovenproof skillet, preferably cast-iron, over medium-high heat, then heat the oil until smoking. Season the steak very generously with salt and pepper and cook just on one side, undisturbed, until a deep brown crust forms on the bottom, about 4 minutes. Transfer the steak, browned-side up, to a cutting board.
• Cut the steak off the bone in 2 pieces--the strip steak on one side and filet mignon on the other. Slice both pieces 1 inch thick straight down, perpendicular to the bone. Return the bone to the skillet and reassemble the sliced steak around it, browned-side up, to resemble the whole steak. Top with the butter and broil until the butter is melted and golden brown and the steak is medium-rare, 4 to 6 minutes, spooning some of the butter and pan juices over the steak as it cooks. Scatter the cheese over the top and broil for 1 more minute. Serve the steak with buttery pan juices spooned over and the chimichurri on the side.

GRILLED CHORIZO, SHRIMP, AND BEEF WITH CHIMICHURRI SAUCE

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.
