Flatiron Steak with Mint Lemon Balm Chipotle Wasabi Chimichurri Sauce

Whew - is this chimichurri sauce complex enough?! I use a good bit of lemon balm leaves in my chimichurri for a lemony tartness. This sauce is great with all kinds grilled food including fish and veggies. Great for a Fourth of July barbecue!


1-1/2 lb flatiron or flank steak

Chimichurri Sauce:
Palmful lemon balm leaves
Palmful mint leaves
Palmful cilantro leaves and tender stems
2 cloves garlic
2 green onions, coarsely chopped
1 Tbsp fresh thyme leaves
1 Tbsp sherry vinegar
3/4 cup olive oil
1 tsp wasabi paste
1 tsp kosher salt
1 tsp crushed dried chipotle pepper

Place chimichurri sauce ingredients together in a small food processor.
Pulse just until incorporated, yet chunky, and no more. Set aside 1/3 to serve with dish, and 2/3 as marinade for meat.
Marinate the steak in 2/3 of the chimichurri sauce for at least an hour, or even better, overnight covered in the refrigerator.  
When ready to cook, return steak to room temperature and heat grill to high.  Grill steak about 3-4 minutes per side or until medium rare at center.  
Let steak rest on cutting board 3-5 minutes and then rice on a bias.  Serve steak with remaining chimichurri sauce on the side.


Serves 4.

Umami Beef Short Ribs Samin Nosrat

This is the penultimate prep for beef short ribs.  Based on the superb documentary by Samin Nosrat, Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat, this is the most umami rib dish you will ever have.  Its the combination of red miso and soy sauce that marinates and flavors the beef - give it a long time to work right - that means overnight in the fridge; it's worth the planning ahead. 6 beef short ribs on the bone, about 3-4 lb 1 large sweet yellow onion, diced 2 stalks celery, diced 1 jalapeño pepper, minced 4 cloves garlic, halved Marinade: 1/4 cup red miso 1/4 cup soy sauce 1/4 cup pale dry sherry or Mirin rice wine 1 Tbsp sesame oil 1 Tbsp honey 2 cloves garlic, minced Salt the ribs generously with coarse salt and let rest overnight in the refrigerator in a resealable plastic bag. Whisk together the marinade.   Pour into the plastic bag and allow to marinate on the counter for about 2-3 hours, or again overnight in the refrigerator. Preheat oven to 375F.

Scrambled Benedict

This is the ultimate Sunday brunch item. Don't be intimidated about making a Hollandaise sauce - it is so much easier and quicker than you may think. And it is oh, so luscious over eggs.  You can poach your eggs or fry them; whatever you prefer.  My favorite is poached, but others in the family like scrambled better, so I scrambled. Happy brunching. Hollandaise Sauce: 2 egg yokes, in a small bowl 1/2 cup butter, just melted in microwave 1 Tbsp lemon juice 1 tsp Dijon mustard 1/4 tsp salt ~1 Tbsp lukewarm water 2 English muffins 2 remaining egg whites 3   eggs 1 Tbsp cream dash dried dill Set up a double boiler (I use a medium pot with a metal bowl on top), and bring 2 cups water to the boil. Reduce heat to low. In the yet unheated double boiler top bowl, whisk together the butter, lemon juice, mustard and salt. Warm over double boiler. Whisk the egg yokes together.   Slowly whisk the yokes into the warmed butter mixture, drizzling the yokes in slowly.   Whisk continuously.   If the
