Steak with grilled asparagus chimichurri and crushed potatoes
American 15 Mins Prep · 30 Mins Cook
- Preheat a skillet pan to a medium-high heat.
- Season the steaks generously with the salt and pepper on both sides, then drizzle with two tablespoons of olive oil. Set aside to allow them to come to room temperature.
- Remove the tough ends of the asparagus.
- Add the 2 tbsp of oil to the heated pan and sauté the asparagus until charred and tender, approx. 3 minutes. Season with a pinch of salt and remove from the pan. Roughly chop the spears and set aside.
- In a food processor or blender, combine the parsley, coriander, 1 garlic clove, vinegar, 125ml olive oil and salt. Pulse until the mixture forms a sauce with a slightly chunky texture. Add the asparagus to the chimichurri. Set aside.
- Place the baby potatoes and salt in a large pot filled with cold water. Bring to a boil over a high heat and cook until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork, approx. 15 minutes. Drain the potatoes.
- While the potatoes are cooking, place a griddle pan over a high heat. Once hot, grill the steaks to your desired doneness. For medium-rare, grill for approx. 4-5 minutes per side. Adjust the cooking time according to your preference. Once cooked, remove the steaks from the grill and allow them to rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
- Mince 2 cloves of garlic. Finely chop the rosemary. Melt the butter in a skillet over a medium heat. Add the minced garlic and rosemary, and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Add the cooked potatoes to the skillet and use the back of a fork to gently crush the potatoes. Season with salt.
- Place a portion of the crushed potatoes and sliced steaks on each plate. Spoon over the grilled asparagus chimichurri and serve.
