Sirloin Steak Skewers With Cilantro Chimichurri Recipes

STEAK FAJITA SKEWERS WITH CILANTRO CHIMICHURRI

Steps:

• In a small bowl whisk together the ingredients for the steak and vegetable seasoning.
• In a gallon sized freezer bag place the steak cubes, 2 teaspoons of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of the seasoning mix.
• Seal the bag, pressing out all of the air, then massage the oil and seasoning into the steak.
• Let it rest for several minutes or even overnight if you want to make it ahead of time.
• In a medium sized bowl or another freezer bag, add the peppers, red onion, remaining seasoning mix and 1 teaspoon of olive oil. Toss to coat.
• Preheat grill to medium-high heat and brush the grates with oil.
• Thread 8-10 metal or (soaked) wooden skewers evenly with the steak and vegetables. Sprinkle with a little extra salt and pepper before placing them on the grill.
• Grill the skewers, turning them occasionally, until grill marks appear. Approximately 7-9 minutes for medium-rare. Serve the skewers topped with the cilantro chimichurri or alongside them for dipping.
• Place all of the ingredients into a food processor and purée until smooth.
• Pour into a small bowl and set aside until ready to serve. Makes 1 cup.

SIMPLE SIRLOIN STEAK WITH CHIMICHURRI

Steps:

• Prepare the steak: Set the steaks on a cutting board and slice them in half crosswise. Using your knife, round out the clean-cut edges so the sides look softer. Use paper towels to pat the steaks dry, then season all over with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Set aside 15 to 30 minutes to bring to room temperature.
• Meanwhile, make the chimichurri sauce: Place the cilantro, parsley, onion, lemon juice, vinegar, garlic, red pepper flakes, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in the bowl of a food processor and pulse until roughly chopped. Slowly pour in the olive oil and process until the chimichurri is semi-smooth, about 4 seconds. Transfer to a small bowl and set aside.
• Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Brush both sides of each steak with the vegetable oil, then cook, undisturbed, until marked, 3 to 5 minutes. Flip and cook until a thermometer registers 125 degrees F for medium rare, 3 to 5 more minutes. Transfer to plates and let rest 5 minutes. Serve with the chimichurri sauce.

Steps:

• Heat gas or charcoal grill. In food processor, place cilantro, onion, garlic, chile, lime juice, oil and 1/4 teaspoon of the salt. Cover; process until finely chopped. Blend in 2 to 3 teaspoons water to make sauce thinner, if desired. Transfer to small bowl; set aside until serving time.
• In small bowl, combine cumin, pepper and remaining 1 teaspoon salt; rub evenly over steaks. Place steaks on grill over medium heat. Cover grill; cook 7 to 10 minutes for medium-rare (145°F), turning once halfway through cooking.
• Serve 2 tablespoons chimichurri over each steak.
