1
Bell peppers, chopped (skip for AIP)
2
Extra virgin olive oil
1 Tbsp
Coarse sea salt to taste
- Chimichurri:
Fresh flat-leaf Italian parsley
1/4 cup
Capers
3 tsp
Red wine vinegar
1 Tbsp
Dried oregano
1 Tbsp
Red pepper flakes (skip for AIP)
3 tsp
Garlic, minced
4 cloves
Sea salt to taste
Extra virgin olive oil
1/2 cup

Utensils

  • Food processor
  • Cast-iron skillet

Instructions

Make chimichurri sauce by combining all ingredients in a food processor and pulsing until smooth, and set aside.

Clean steak by trimming off any remaining “silver skin”, and leave the fat cap intact. Slice steak into 1-inch thick steaks with the grain. Discard the ends (they’re often too chewy), keep the thick pieces (4-6 pieces) and season them with sea salt.

Toss chopped vegetables with olive oil to coat and season with sea salt to taste.

To a hot grill or an oiled cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat, add the vegetables and steaks. Cook the steaks for approx. 9-12 mins., flipping halfway, for medium-doneness or to your liking. Cook the vegetables for the same amount of time or a little longer until golden brown on the exterior and soft on the interior.

Allow the meat to rest for 5 minutes before slicing thin, serving alongside vegetables, and drizzling with chimichurri.
