Chimichurri steak taco yumminess
Grilled steak, fresh cilantro and homemade pico de gallo – what could be better? Not much, friend. I discovered this recipe on Pinterest (oh how I love Pinterest) from Feasting At Home, and made it that very night for the hub and I. Can I just say, in a word… YUM! I mean really YUM. So good, my hub says:
We had restaurant left-over tenderloin and little interest in cooking, but with a food processor and fresh ingredients, we had a healthy dinner in a heartbeat. Below is the recipe for your pleasure – slightly adapted for JulsJuls.
2 lbs Flank Steak or pounded skirt steak (though I prefer a better cut – leftover tenderloin was perfect)
Juice of 1 orange
Juice of 2 limes
1/3 C soy sauce
1/3 C olive oil
1/2 tsp sugar
4 smashed, chopped garlic cloves
Cilantro Chimichurri:
1 bunch Cilantro or about 1 cup packed
1 bunch Italian Parsley- about 1 cup packed
1/4 C fresh lime juice (1-2 limes)
1/2 C olive oil
1/4 C chopped onion
2 garlic cloves
2 tsp ground cumin
2 ground coriander
3/4 tsp kosher salt
1/2 jalapeño pepper, de-seeded, chopped
In a food processor, add jalapeno, garlic, onion, and pulse several times until chopped. Add cilantro (stems are fine) and Italian parsley, pulse again. Add oil, lime juice, cumin, coriander, and salt. Pulse until combined. Set aside in small serving bowl.
Pico De Gallo:
4 vine-ripe tomatoes, de-seeded and chopped
1/2 medium red onion, chopped
2 green onions, white and green parts, sliced
1 Serrano chili, minced (remove the seeds)
1 handful fresh cilantro leaves, chopped
1 1/2 limes, juiced
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon kosher salt
Finely dice tomato, onion, jalapeño and cilantro. Season with salt, pepper and fresh lime juice. Place all in a bowl, mix and let sit for 15 min to 1 hour.
