Recipe: Grilled New York strip steak with kickin' chimichurri (on this page)
Steaks
Mix together spices in a small bowl. Sprinkle evenly over strip steaks. Heat oil in a heavy sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add steaks and cook 4-5 minutes per side or until desired doneness (120 degrees for rare and 125 degrees for medium rare, using an instant-read thermometer). Transfer to a cutting board and tent with foil.
Kickin’ chimichurri sauce
Pulse first three ingredients until well combined. Wipe down sides. Add remaining ingredients in food processor, slowly adding oil in at the end. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
Guaca “maiz“ — a corn and guacamole salsa
Gently fold all ingredients together in a bowl, keeping the avocado intact. Season to taste.
Plating options: Slice the steaks across the grain and fan out on plate. Spoon chimichurri over the steaks. Use a metal round or tuna can with both sides removed with can opener, and fill with guaca “maiz.” Remove metal round. Top with a piece of cilantro. Enjoy!
