Yesterday was restocking day at my house, and while we were at Sams we found some amazing looking ribeye steaks, bacon wrapped jalapeno poppers, and baked potatoes. I'm going to tell you about it while I wait for Alex's MRI to be done.
Chimichurri sauce originates in Argentina and South America. It's like pesto that originates in Italy. The difference is the consistency of the sauces. Chimichurri is more minced herbs with oil mixed in whereas pesto is emulsified by adding the oil in stages as the sauce is made in a blender, food processor, or the old-fashioned way by mortar and pestle.
Well since it looks like he'll be out soon let's finish this up with the how to. In order of importance, take the meat out of the refrigerator at least 30 minutes before you start cooking to let the meat come.to room temperature. It helps the steak to caramelize more evenly. Turn on the oven, light the grill, or however you’re cooking those poppers it needs to heat first. Once that's ready oil and season your steaks. This part is probably the most important thing I'll ever tell you about grilling. Pat the seasoning into the steak for optimum flavor. Then add it to your pan presentation side down. The first sides are always the prettiest. Now for the second most important thing... leave it alone, the steak will tell you when it's ready to flip. Then add your poppers to a pan and cook for 15 mins on each side or until the bacon is crispy to your liking. Next, I honestly throw the baked potatoes in the microwave or the air fryer. The piece de resistance is the chimichurri sauce. You're going to mince garlic, Italian parsley, oregano, and small deseeded red pepper together. Mince meaning to chop into the smallest pieces almost making a paste. Add olive oil, dash of red wine vinegar, and salt and pepper to taste.
Alex is getting close to finding out what's wrong with his back and liver, so I'll keep everyone posted. He's walking out now so as always if you have any questions, comments, or concerns please reach out via email or comment below... Be blessed!
