Ingredients
Scale
- 2 hanger steaks (flat iron or sirloin steaks work too), room temperature
- 1 teaspoon sea salt, plus more for seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper, plus more for seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 green bell peppers, cut in half
- 2 heirloom tomatoes, sliced in half
- 1–2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons pine nuts (optional)
- Tortillas or naan bread, for serving (optional)
Cilantro Chimichurri
- 1/4 cup and 2 tablespoons good quality olive oil
- 1 large handful fresh cilantro – leave about 2–3 steams out to add at the end
- 1 small shallot
- 1 garlic clove
- 1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- zest from 1/2 lemon
Instructions
- To make the Chimichurri – combine all the ingredients in a blender or food processor bowl. Process until smooth – about 3-4 pulses. Pour into a small bowl and set aside.
- Heat your grill or grill pan to high heat.
- Combine the sea salt, pepper, cumin and garlic powder in a small bowl. Sprinkle the mixture all over the steaks – on both sides. Let sit until the grill is hot.
- Arrange the bell peppers and tomatoes on a plate. Drizzle with olive oil.
- When the grill is hot, add the steak. Cook for 4 minutes without flipping. Add the peppers and tomatoes to the grill. Flip the steaks after 4-6 minutes of cooking time. Be sure to watch the peppers and tomatoes – you want nice grill marks on them but not to completely char them. Flip them over after a few minutes.
- Grill the steaks on the other side for another 4-6 minutes or until they are cooked to your likely. Remove the steaks and vegetables to a cutting board to rest. Allow the steak to rest for at least 5 minutes or 10, if you can wait.
- Slice into serving portions or drizzle the cilantro chimichurri over the steaks. Garnish with pine nuts and more cilantro (if desired) and then slice into. Serve each plate with more chimichurri on top and the grilled vegetables.
Great with charred tortillas or naan bread.
