Chimichurri sauce for the first time

So, I am sitting here at work.... and I know that when I get home the Question is going to be What's for Dinner?

 So... Here is my Dinner idea for the night

I am going to Pick up a flank steak or skirt steak( they cook fast and have great flavor!) Rub it with garlic powder, onion powder, kosher salt, Fresh ground pepper.

Grill it on really high heat 5-7 mins total.

Then, I am going to make white rice with cilantro and black pepper(just a little)

Chipotle’s Cilantro Lime Rice
1 teaspoon vegetable oil or butter
2 tsp. fresh cilantro
2/3 cup white basmati rice
1 cup water
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 lime
In a 2-quart heavy saucepan, heat oil or butter over low heat, stirring occasionally until melted. Add rice and lime juice, stir for 1 minute. Add water and salt, bring to a full rolling boil. At boiling, cover, turn down to simmer over low heat until rice is tender and the water is absorbed, about 25 minutes. Fluff rice with a fork.

Then I am going to top the steak with Chimichurri.

 Chimichurri:

  • 1 bunch fresh parsley, chopped
  • 8 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup sherry wine vinegar
  • 3 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
Pictures to come!
