Grilled Steak Salad with Chimichurri Sauce
For some people “Salad” can be synonymous with a culinary punishment, but this salad is both gentle and hearty enough to gently dissuade any skeptical opinions about how satisfying a meal they can be. At its core, this salad is a celebration of fresh and simple ingredients such as refreshing cucumbers and juicy tomatoes. Serving as a char-grilled crown on the top of our bed of vegetables is a Chimichurri-marinated steak that is a hearty and (obviously) meaty contrast to the rest of our fresh ingredients. Rather than going with croutons, Jeff opted to make his own crunchy garnish in the form of crisping up some thinly sliced shallots, but you know what? This is a salad for Pete’s sake. Make it with whatever vegetables speak to you: roasted beets, grated carrots, red pepper strips, and maybe even a sprinkle of chia seeds over the top of it.
