Although you may look at the ingredient list for my Steak Tacos w/ Chimichurri Sauce and think it is too long, with way to many ingredients, it really is easy and quick to make. I think you are going to like this version of chimichurri sauce. I made a few changes to the traditional sauce, like not using pimentos, cooking the red peppers, and soaking the diced red onions in the cider vinegar mix.
If you are like me, and you have a lot of interruptions when you are cooking, I recommend not putting any ingredients together until all of them are measured out and sitting right in front of you. It’s so much easier, and when you have a long list, it makes the cooking go quicker. Really!
Steak Tacos w/ Chimichurri Sauce
(printable recipe at end of page)
(makes 8 tacos)
1/2 cup Apple Cider Vinegar
1/2 cup Sugar
1/2 cup Water
1/2 cup red onion, finely chopped
1/2 cup diced Red Bell Peppers
1 cup Italian Parsley, fresh chopped
1/3 cup chopped Cilantro
1 clove Garlic, finely chopped
1/3 cup diced yellow, and orange Bell Peppers
2 teaspoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1/4 cup Red Wine Vinegar
8 ounce Top Sirloin Filet
ground pepper
minced garlic
8 Tortillas
1 Lime
1 Avocado, sliced
Queso Fresco (crumbly cheese)
Combine apple cider vinegar, sugar and water. Bring to a boil. Add red onion. Boil for 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.
Saute red peppers in butter until softened, but with just a bit of crunch.
Add chopped fresh parsley, chopped cilantro, chopped garlic, yellow and orange peppers, red peppers, diced red onions, extra virgin olive oil, and red wine vinegar to a bowl and mix together.
Sprinkle steak with black pepper and minced garlic. Tenderize and then place on grill.
Cook steak on grill to medium rare, or whatever you like. For medium rare, cook on each side for 2 minutes, flipping it to the other side, cooking for 5-6 minutes. Place tortillas in aluminum foil and cook on grill with steak.
Let meat rest for approximately 5 minutes. Slice down thin slices.
Build taco by adding steak, topping it with chimichurri sauce, avocado and crumbly cheese. Add a squeeze of fresh lime, if desired.
Enjoy!
