Tips
Tips
- You can make the chimichuri in a blender or a mortar and pestle. If you’re using a mortar and pestle it will be a more rustic texture but equally as delicious.
- Make sure to bring your steak to room temperature before cooking this ensures even cooking of your steak (AKA so the outside doesn’t burn before the inside is cooked through).
- Be careful not to over cook your green beans – they are best a little al dente.
Shortcuts
Vegetables
- Swap sweet potatoes for agria potatoes or roasted carrots.
Protein
- The chimichurri is fresh and full of flavour and is great served over grilled chicken thighs or pan fried white fish.
- For a vegetarian option swap the steak for cauliflower steak.
Ingredients
- 1 large cauliflower
- 1/2 tsp turmeric
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 3 Tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper
Method
- Heat oven to 200 degrees celsius (fan bake)
- Slice your cauliflower into ¾-inch-thick slices (note keep the core intact as this will help hold your ‘steak’ together) the outer slices will be more like florets but will roast up nice and crispy being smaller.
- Arrange the ‘steaks’ in a single layer on the baking sheet. Scatter the florets around them.
- In a small bowl combine the olive oil, turmeric and cumin. Drizzle or brush the cauliflower with 1/2 the spiced oil. Season with a generous amount of salt and pepper.
- Place in the oven and cook for 15 minutes before, then flip and drizzle or brush with remaining oil and cook for a further 10-15 minutes.
- Serve drizzled with the chimichurri sauce.
Ingredients
Chimichurri
- 1/2 cup parsley
- 1/2 cup mint
- 1/2 cup coriander
- ¼ cup olive oil
- ½ tsp dried or fresh oregano
- 3 Tbsp red wine vinegar
- 1 clove of garlic
- Pinch of chilli flakes
- Salt and pepper
Green Beans
- 2-3 cups green beans
- Drizzle of olive oil
Sweet Potato Fries
- 4-6 golden sweet potatoes
- 2-3 Tbsp olive oil
- Pinch of salt
Steak
- 600-800g steak (we used eye fillet)
- Drizzle of olive oil
- Salt and pepper
Method
- Preheat the oven to 200 degrees fan bake.
- Cut the sweet potatoes into small fries or wedges. Pop on a baking tray and drizzle over the olive oil, salt and pepper. Toss well, making sure all of the pieces are covered in olive oil. Place them in the oven to cook for 30 minutes or until golden brown.
- Prepare the green beans by trimming the ends of either side.
- Bring the steak out the fridge, and drizzle over some olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Set aside to allow to get to room temperature.
- Make the chimichurri by adding all ingredients into a blender and blitz until smooth.
- Cook the steak over a high heat on a pan or on the BBQ for 4-6 minutes either side (depending on the size of your piece). Once the steak is done, set aside to rest and steam the green beans.
- Drizzle the chimichurri over the steak and serve with the green beans and sweet potato fries.
