Steak Fajita Skewers With Cilantro Chimichurri Recipes

SUNNY ANDERSON'S STEAK FAJITAS WITH CHIMICHURRI AND DRUNKEN PEPPERS

Steps:

• Combine the parsley and cilantro (leaves and stems), garlic, half of the sliced onion, 1 tablespoon salt, 1 teaspoon pepper, vinegar, 2 tablespoons lemon juice and 1/2 cup olive oil in a food processor; blend into a thick and smooth chimichurri sauce. Pierce both sides of the steak with a fork several times; place in a resealable plastic bag and add half of the sauce. Seal the bag and turn to coat the steak; refrigerate for at least 1 hour. Cover and reserve the remaining sauce.
• Preheat a grill to medium-high. Remove the steak from the bag (discard the bag of sauce); season with salt and pepper and grill until medium-rare, about 6 minutes per side. Let rest, loosely covered with foil, for 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the peppers and the remaining sliced onion half; season with salt and pepper. Saute until the vegetables are softened and caramelized around the edges, about 8 minutes. Add the beer, cover and cook until the peppers are tender, about 5 minutes.
• Warm the tortillas on the grill. Thinly slice the steak on the bias; divide among the tortillas along with the peppers and onions. Thin the reserved chimichurri sauce with the remaining 1 tablespoon lemon juice; drizzle over the fajitas. Serve with lime wedges, if desired.

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.

BEEF SKEWERS WITH CILANTRO CHIMICHURRI

Steps:

• Make the pickled red onion: Combine the cider vinegar, sugar and 1 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl and whisk to dissolve. Add the red onion and 2 tablespoons cilantro and stir to combine. Cover and set aside at room temperature, 1 hour.
• Meanwhile, soak 20 wooden skewers in warm water, at least 20 minutes. Slice the flank steak against the grain into 20 strips, about 1/8 inch thick. Thread the meat accordion-style onto the skewers and set aside until ready to grill.
• Combine the remaining cilantro, the garlic, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, red pepper flakes, 1/2 teaspoon salt and the olive oil in a blender and puree until smooth; transfer to a small bowl.
• Heat a grill or grill pan to medium high. Season the steak with salt and pepper. Brush the grill with olive oil, then grill the skewers until marked, about 1 minute per side. Serve with the chimichurri and pickled onion.

SKIRT STEAK FAJITA PITA WITH CHIMICHURRI

Steps:

• For the marinade: Whisk the soy sauce, lime juice, honey, cumin, cayenne, garlic and some salt and pepper in a bowl. Place the steak in a large freezer bag or a baking dish and pour the marinade over it. Marinate the steak at least 30 minutes and up to 3 hours in the refrigerator.
• For the chimichurri: Whisk together the oil, red wine vinegar, lime juice, garlic, jalapeno and red onions. Add the herbs and toss to combine. Set aside until ready to build the sandwich.
• Heat a grill pan to high heat.
• Remove the meat from the marinade, let any excess drip from the meat so it is not overly wet. Grill the meat for 4 to 6 minutes each side for medium-rare. Transfer the meat to a cutting board, tent with foil and let rest for 5 to 10 minutes.
• While the meat rests, toss the peppers and onions in a bowl with the oil and salt and pepper. Place onto the grill and cook until the vegetables are nice and charred, 6 to 8 minutes.
• Cut the pita pockets in half.
• Slice the rested skirt steak into thin strips against the grain.
• To build the pocket: Lay a piece of Havarti cheese in the pita, add slices of skirt steak, some peppers and onions and pour in some chimichurri.
