Yummy Paleo Steak


If you are familiar with South America, then you have probably heard of Chimmichurri.  It is mainly used in Argentina to accompany their steaks.  This is a recipe below for a great tasting paleo friendly Argentinian steak that will not only leave you full but it’s super tastey.


Ingredients 

          2 jalapeños
         2 cups cilantro leaves and sprigs, finely chopped
          2 cups parsley leaves and sprigs, finely chopped
         2 medium cloves garlic, minced
          3 tablespoons juice from limes
          3 tablespoons dry red wine
          1 tablespoon red-wine vinegar
          1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for brushing
          Salt and freshly ground black pepper
          2 pounds skirt steak

Procedures

1 Prepare a grill or turn on a broiler. Grill or char the jalapeños until blackened on all sides and soft, about 5 minutes total. Place them in a small bowl covered with a plate or towel and allow the skins to steam and loosen. Peel, stem, and seed. 
 
2 In a small food processor or blender, combine the jalapeños, cilantro, parsley, garlic, lime juice, red wine, olive oil, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Pulse (or blend) until the mixture is a coarse puree. Taste and adjust for salt and blend again. 
 
3 Heat a grill pan over high heat. Rub the steaks with olive oil and season very generously with salt and pepper. Grill until medium rare, 2 to 4 minutes per side depending on thickness (center of steaks should register 125°F on an instant read thermometer). Remove to a plate and allow to rest for at least 5 minutes. 
 
4 Slice the steak across the grain with the knife at a 45 degree angle. Arrange on a serving plate and spoon some chimichurri over the steak. Serve with the extra sauce.

This is a great recipe, it's not complicated and you can find most of the ingredients around your home.  It's also a healthy part of a paleo diet, if you would like a full guide to paleo recipes and a full plan just check out the link below.
