Best 3 Grilled Steak Tacos With Chipotle Cream And Chimichurri Recipes

GAUCHO-GRILLED STEAK WITH CHIMICHURRI SAUCE

Steps:

• Combine the garlic, jalapeno and vinegar in a bowl. Stir in the parsley, oregano, and lime juice. Whisk in the olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Mix well and set aside at room temperature to allow the flavors to marry.
• Marinate the steak in olive oil for 30 minutes, turning to coat both sides.
• Preheat an outdoor charcoal grill or oven broiler to high. Remove the steak from the oil and season both sides with a generous amount of salt and pepper; you should see the seasoning on the meat. Grill the steaks on the hottest part of the barbecue for 4 minutes per side, until well charred. Transfer the steak to a cutting board and let stand for 5 minutes. Cut the steak across the grain on the diagonal and fan the slices out on a platter. Spoon some chimichurri over the meat and serve with the remaining sauce at the table.

GRILLED STEAK TACOS WITH CHIPOTLE CREAM AND CHIMICHURRI

Steps:

• For the Chimichurri: While the steak rests, place the cilantro leaves, onion, 4 cloves garlic, juice of 1 lime, and 1/3 cup vinegar to a blender and puree until combined. With the blender on low speed, drizzle in the 1/4 cup olive oil in a low stream. Remove the sauce from the blender and stir in the red pepper flakes and salt to taste.
• For the Chipotle Cream: Combine the sour cream, chipotle pepper, adobo sauce, juice of 1/2 lime, and a pinch of salt.
• Place the steak, 3 cloves garlic, 2 tablespoons each olive oil and red wine vinegar, 1 teaspoons salt, 1/2 teaspoons black pepper, and dijon mustard in a resealable bag. Rub the ingredients into the meat and place in the refrigerator to marinate 2 hours.
• After 2 hours, remove the meat from the bag and pat dry to remove any excess moisture. Lightly season both sides with salt and pepper. Set aside.
• Spray an indoor, stovetop grill with nonstick cooking spray and preheat on medium-high heat. Place the steak on the preheated grill and grill about 6 minutes per side for medium rare. After grilling the steak, cover with tented foil and allow to rest for 10 minutes before thinly slicing across the grain.

GRILLED STEAK WITH YELLOW PEPPER CHIMICHURRI

Steps:

• For the steak: Let the steak rest at room temperature for 20 minutes. Preheat a grill pan or outdoor grill to high.
• Rub both sides of the steak with oil and sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper. Grill the steak until lightly charred, 3 to 4 minutes per side for medium-rare (cook longer for medium or well-done steak). Transfer to a cutting board and let rest 10 minutes.
• For the yellow pepper chimichurri: Combine the bell pepper, parsley, oregano, garlic, oil, vinegar, salt and black pepper in a food processor. Process until well mixed but still a little chunky. Transfer to a small bowl.
• Cut the steak into thin slices across the grain. Serve with the chimichurri.
