One of my favorite meals is charbroiled steak, cooked rare (because there is no other way to eat a steak) alongside this incredible chimichurri. This Whole30 Spicy Steak Chimichurri is such a fantastic dish that not only looks beautiful – it tastes beautiful, too! It’s spicy, acidic and pairs perfectly over steak … some veggies … roasted potatoes … the list goes on and on.
How I like to prepare the perfect Whole30 steak.
I typically sous-vide our steaks first before searing them on the grill. Sous-vide is a cooking method that involves cooking food slowly in hot, circulating water. It’s foolproof because you can cook to your desired temperature and not have to worry about overcooking. (Most sous-vide systems connect to your phone via Bluetooth so you’re in total control.)
Sometimes I like to add a little olive oil, salt and pepper to the bag. Add extra flavor by crushing some garlic cloves and adding sprigs of thyme. Once the steak is cooked to your desired temperature, fire up the grill and add those beautiful grill marks to achieve maximum flavor.
