Chimichurri steak with a fresh Summer salad<\/p>\n
You’ll need:<\/p>\n
For the steak: 600g rump or sirloin steak; 1 tbsp olive oil; salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.<\/p>\n
For the chimichurri: 1 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped; 2 garlic cloves, crushed; 2 tbsp red wine vinegar; \u00bd tsp dried oregano; \u00bd tsp chilli flakes, optional; 80ml olive oil; salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.<\/p>\n
For the Summer salad: 250g cherry tomatoes, halved; 1 ripe avocado, sliced; 1 cup cooked sweetcorn kernels, preferably charred; \u00bd red onion, thinly sliced; 100g cucumber, sliced; a handful of fresh rocket; 1 tbsp olive oil; 1 tbsp lemon juice; salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.<\/p>\n
How to make:<\/p>\n
Mix the parsley, garlic, red wine vinegar, oregano and chilli flakes in a bowl. Stir in the olive oil and season to taste. Set aside to allow the flavours to develop while you prepare the rest of the meal.<\/p>\n
Toss the cherry tomatoes, avocado, sweetcorn, red onion, cucumber and rocket in a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and lemon juice, season to taste and toss gently.<\/p>\n
Rub the steak with olive oil and season generously with salt and black pepper. Cook on a hot braai or griddle pan to your preferred doneness, turning as needed. Rest for five to 10 minutes before slicing thinly against the grain.<\/p>\n
Arrange the steak on a platter, spoon over some of the chimichurri and serve with the fresh Summer salad. Keep the remaining sauce on the side for anyone who fancies an extra helping.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
