Steak With Homemade Chimichurri Sauce

Key Notes: Keto, Paleo, low carb

This homemade chimichurri sauce is divine over a flavorful cut of steak such as skirt or hangar.

Using organic grass-fed beef means a more flavorful steak with no hormones and no antibiotics, which are usually rampant in the beef industry.

Chimichurri is a sauce originating from the South American countries of Argentina and Uraguay.

While it is traditionally made with a red wine vinegar, substituting it for lime juice gives it a refreshing kick.

It’s an impressive entree for date night, or a scaled down version can be served tapas style.

You can freeze the leftover chimichurri sauce in an ice cube tray for easy individual portions.

This way you’ll have the delicious sauce for weeks to come!

1. In a food processor, combine all the ingredients and pulse until desired consistency. Longer blending time will result in a smoother, emulsified sauce, while less will result in a chunkier sauce.
2. Mix together greens, cherry tomatoes if using, onions if using, and sliced cucumber if using. Set on final plate.
3. Drizzle olive and add salt and pepper to steak. Mix well to combine.
4. Over medium high heat, sear steak on each side to desired done-ness. Remove from heat and allow to rest for 5 minutes. Slice and place over mixed greens.
5. Spoon chimichurri sauce over steak, and freeze the remainder.
