Steak & Fries with Chimichurri

×

2 Serves.

Chimichurri is a delicious South American sauce that goes with most proteins. Its flavour is punchy and robust and adds some green goodness to your dishes.

Cook time: 30 mins

Method

1. Heat your oven to 180°C/355°F and line a baking tray with baking paper (optional).
2. Peel and cut your potatoes into chips.  I usually halve the potato lengthways, then quarter lengthways, then into 2 or 3 chips depending on potato size. 
3. Dry the potatoes with some paper towel and place onto baking tray.  Rub in the 1 teaspoon of oil & ¼ teaspoon of salt.   Spread them out well and put them into the oven.  They will take around 40-50mins to cook and brown well.
4. Make the Chimichurri by placing all ingredients into a small blender and pulse blitzing it until all the ingredients have come together into a thick sauce.  This should only take around 20 – 30 seconds.
5. The tomatoes need to go into the oven & will only take 10mins to cook.  Make some space on the chips tray and add them once the chips have been in the oven for around 30mins. Optional - use tongs to rub the tomatoes through the oil and salt that have been cooking the chips.
6. Once the tomatoes are in the oven.  Heat a pan to medium heat ready to cook the beef.  Add 1 teaspoon of oil to the pan and once heated add the beef.  Cooking time will depend on how thick the beef cut is, plus how you like your beef done.  I would normally cook this for around 5 mins on each side.
7. Once the beef cooked & resting, take the chips and tomatoes out of the oven to cool slightly before serving.  Serve everything on a plate with a good dollop of chimichurri on the beef.
