Had this strip steak in the freezer for a while and was craving some chimichurri. No pics on that but I like to make a cilantro/parsley chimichurri.
Salt and pepper only
On the side, I had some new or young yellow potatoes already cooked that needed eating. Crash Hot Potatoes (Rhee Drummond's name for them) is one of my favorites. Whole boiled small potatoes, olive oil on a foiled pan (toaster oven pan here), "crash" or smash the potatoes but dont obliterate them. I use a wire form style potato masher with some oil on it to make it easier to release the potatoes when "crashing" them.
Brush generously with light olive oil then salt, pepper, garlic and onion granules. In this case, in the toaster oven at 400 on "turbo" or convection bake.
Until nice and crunchy around the edges, yet some soft left in the middle
Steak responsibly resting after grilling
Sliced and trimmed and perfectly med-rare
I had some block blue cheese leftover from some lamb burgers I made that needed to be used. The light bulb went on in my increasingly slow brain and I warmed the plates in the microwave and put room temperature slices of the blue cheese down on the warm plates. Sorry, didn't realize that pic was so fuzzy till just now. But you get the gist...right?
Plated the sliced steak over top of the blue cheese so it would go along, bite for bite.
Topped with the chimichurri, then sour cream and chimichurri on the Crash Hots.
Nice meal, Y'all!
Wife had a side salad too. I skipped that. Meat and potatoes!
