Description

Prepare satisfying bowls featuring grilled steak, roasted potatoes, and a bright, fresh homemade chimichurri sauce.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lb sirloin or flank steak
  • 1 lb small red potatoes, quartered
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 1 teaspoon salt, divided
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, divided
  • 1 cup fresh parsley, packed
  • 1/2 cup fresh cilantro, packed
  • 4 cloves garlic
  • 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped


Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Toss the quartered potatoes with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of pepper. Spread them on a baking sheet and roast for 25 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  2. While potatoes roast, prepare the chimichurri. Combine parsley, cilantro, garlic, red wine vinegar, 1/2 cup olive oil, oregano, and red pepper flakes in a food processor. Pulse until the mixture is finely chopped but still has texture. Stir in the chopped red onion and remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Set aside.
  3. Season the steak liberally with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of pepper.
  4. Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Sear the steak for 3 to 5 minutes per side for medium-rare, adjusting time for your preferred doneness.
  5. Remove the steak from the heat and let it rest on a cutting board for 10 minutes before slicing thinly against the grain.
  6. Assemble the bowls: Divide the roasted potatoes among serving bowls. Top with slices of steak. Spoon a generous amount of chimichurri sauce over the steak and potatoes.

Notes

  • For a quicker potato cook time, you can air fry the potatoes at 380 degrees Fahrenheit for 15 minutes.
  • If you do not have fresh cilantro, you can substitute it entirely with parsley for a more traditional, less complex chimichurri flavor.
  • Flank steak is a good choice for this recipe because it holds up well to high-heat searing.
