Ingredients

Scale

Chimichurri:

  • 1/8 cup fresh cilantro
  • 1/2 cup fresh parsley
  • 1/8 cup fresh basil
  • 1/3 cup light olive oil
  • 2 garlic cloves*
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano leaves
  • 1 tablespoon shallot, minced
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon red wine vinegar
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • (optional) 1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Grilled Corn Salad:

  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 23 teaspoons garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 2 cups grilled corn, cut off the cob*** 
  • 2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/4 cup red onion, diced
  • 2 cups English cucumber, sliced and quartered

Steak:

  • (2) 1-inch thick New York Strips or Ribeye 
  • kosher salt
  • ground black pepper

Grilled Zucchini:

  • 23 small zucchini, quartered
  • olive oil
  • salt and pepper

Other Rice Bowl Ingredients:

  • 4 cups cooked rice of your choice
  • 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled 

Instructions

  1. Make Chimichurri: Add ingredients to a food processor. Pulse several times until the consistency is smooth. Taste and adjust any seasonings to your liking – add additional olive oil for a thinner consistency. 
  2. Make Grilled Corn Salad: In a small bowl combine olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, Italian seasoning, kosher salt and ground black pepper. Whisk to combine. Taste and add any additional salt, as desired. Add corn, cherry tomatoes, red onion and cucumber to a medium bowl. Pour dressing over top and toss to coat. Set aside. 
  3. Prep Steak: Clean grill and turn grill temperature up to High Heat (450-550 degrees F). Season steak salt and pepper over both sides of steak and set aside until grill is hot.
  4. Grill Steaks: Place steaks over direct heat and close grill. Let sear for 3-4 minutes. Flip steaks, keeping them over direct heat, and close the lid. Let cook another 3-4 minutes. Open grill and take internal temperature of the steaks by sticking an internal meat thermometer into the side of the steak.  If steak hasn’t reached your desired internal temperature (see Notes – should be about 127 degrees F. for medium-rare) then move steak to indirect heat (I usually just turn off my middle burner and move the steaks there) until they do reach 3-5 degrees below your desired temperature. Remove steaks from grill and let rest for 5 minutes before serving/cutting – the internal temp will continue to rise approx. 5 degrees as they rest.
  5. Grill Zucchini: While steak if resting drizzle some olive oil over your quartered zucchini. Season with salt and pepper. Sear on medium-high heat for 3-5 minutes, turning occasionally, until you have some nice char marks. Set aside and cut into chunks. 
  6. Build Bowl: Divide rice, grilled zucchini and grilled corn salad between 4 bowls. Add steak to each bowl and top with as much chimichurri as you desire. Feel free to add a little feta and fresh cracked pepper on top. 

Notes

  • Internal Temperature: Rare: 120-130; Medium – Rare: 130-140; Medium: 140-145; Medium-Well: 145-155; Well: 160.
  • Prep: You can definitely prep the Chimichurri and the Grilled Corn Salad ahead of time!
