Chimichurri-Topped Flank Steak

This is a delicious - and relatively quick dinner - I served it with roasted potatoes and a green salad topped with tomatoes and avocados. Thankfully, I had the foresight to set some of the slices aside for steak sandwiches for lunch the next day. Otherwise, we would have eaten till it was completely devoured.

Ingredients

Meat

1 flank steak, between 2 and 3 pounds)
1 T organic brown sugar
1 T paprika
1 t smoked paprika
1 t freshly ground salt
1/2 t ground cumin
1/2 t ground coriander
olive oil

Chimichurri

2 C fresh cilantro
1 C fresh parsley
2 T fresh oregano
2 T fresh mint
5 cloves garlic
2 T vinegar (I used a white balsamic)
juice from 1 lemon
zest from 1 lemon
olive oil
optional: freshly ground salt and freshly ground pepper

Procedure

Meat

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Place the flank steak on a parchment-lined baking sheet. In a small bowl, combine the sugar, paprikas, salt, cumin, and coriander. Sprinkle the spices over the flank steak and rub it in. Drizzle with olive oil. Then roast in the preheated oven for between 25 and 40 minutes, depending on desired level of doneness.

Remove from oven and let rest 10 minutes before slicing and serving. While the flank steak roasts and rest, prepare your sauce.

Chimichurri

Put all ingredients - except olive oil - in blender and pulse to a thick paste. Remove from blender and whisk in olive oil until desired consistency. To serve, place the chimichurri on top of flank steak slices.

Caulibits Crni Rižoto (Croatian Black "Risotto") #Whole30

Last week, I participated in the Wine Pairing Weekend event 'New Year, New Wine." I paired Crni Rižoto with Dingac Vinarija’s Pelješac...and you can read my post: here . I was pouring a Croatian wine and decided to make a traditional Croatian dish. Every seafood restaurant in Croatia has a Crni Rižoto (black risotto) on its menu. Crni Rižoto is risotto dyed black with squid ink; I used cuttlefish ink for the same effect. However, since arborio rice is not Whole30 compliant, I made a version for myself that used caulibits instead of rice. Ingredients 1 C fish stock (or a combination of fish stock and vegetable stock) 1 T olive oil 1 medium shallots, peeled and minced 1 cloves garlic, crushed and minced 1/4 lb shrimp 1/4 lb squid tubes, cleaned and sliced into rings 1/4 lb scallops 1/4 lb clams, scrubbed 1/4 lb mussels, scrubbed 4 C caulibits, or chopped cauliflower 1 T fresh parsley, minced juice and zest from 1 organic lemon 1 t cuttlefish ink

Host Cindy of Grape Experiences wrote: "Burgundy, or Bourgogne, is known for its wines of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir... as well as Aligote, Gamay, Sauvignon, César, Pinot Beurot, Sacy, Melon in lesser quantities. Many of the well-known wines are quite expensive, but there are plenty of values to be found." Read her invitation here. And there won't be a Twitter chat for this event, so you will have to dive into the articles themselves to read about our pairings and findings. Here's the line-up...
