Chimichurri Steak & Potato Salad

wild arugula, radishes, verde sauce

STARS

This might be a meat and potatoes dish, but you'll find that the influence comes from South America. Grill steak until tender and finish with chimichurri, a steak sauce hybrid from Argentina, made from chopped parsley, garlic, and olive oil. Serve red potatoes and an arugula salad alongside the sliced beef to make this elegant plate a feast for the eyes as well as the taste buds.

Ingredients

Marinated Steak

  • 4 6-ounce teres major steaks
  • 4 tablespoons canola oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon pepper

Red Potato Salad

  • 1 pound red potatoes, halved (or quartered if large)
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons white vinegar
  • 1 Fresno pepper, diced
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 2 scallions, minced
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Chimi-Verde Sauce

  • 1 cup parsley
  • 2 tablespoons white vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon chile flakes
  • 2 garlic cloves, peeled
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup olive oil

Serving

  • 6 cups baby arugula
  • 2 radishes, sliced thinly
Directions
1
In a shallow baking dish, coat the steaks in oil, salt and pepper. Rest for 10 minutes.
2
In a large pot, place 1 inch of water, a steamer basket and the potatoes. Cover and bring to a simmer. Steam the potatoes until fork-tender, 15-20 minutes. Drain and cool slightly.
3
In a medium bowl, whisk together the olive oil, vinegar, Fresno pepper, sugar, scallions and salt. Fold in the cooked potatoes and adjust the seasoning to taste.
4
Preheat the grill or a large skillet over high heat. 
5
Grill the steaks for 3 to 4 minutes per side to sear, then lower the heat to medium and cook until an instant-read thermometer reaches 130°F for rare, 140°F for medium-rare and 150°F for medium-well. 
6
Transfer the grilled steak to a cutting board, let rest for 5-10 minutes, then slice against the grain.
7
In a blender, combine all of the chimi-verde ingredients except the oil until smooth. With the motor running, gradually drizzle in the oil until the sauce is emulsified. Season to taste.
8
Divide the potato salad and steaks between plates. Top with baby arugula, radishes and chimi-verde sauce.
