Steak with Chimichuri over Raw Kale Salad

Eating healthy is tastes amazing. I promise this recipe will blow your mind and really only takes 10 mins. Another great Friday Night dinner idea.

Steak:
1 sirloin steak (try and eat from Healthy Butcher/ Rowe Farms)
Sear it on a really hot pan 3 mins on each side max, make sure you season it before

Chimichurri:
Combine in a bowl and whisk…make this ahead of time for best results keep in fridge for 2 hours before to get the most flavour
1/4 cup Red Pepper
1/4 minced onion
1-2 cloves of minced garlic
1/4 cup quality olive oil
1/4 cup of red wine vinegar ( if you dont have that just splash some red wine)
1 tsp of smoked paprika
1/4 cup of chopped Fresh Italian Parsley
tbsp of freshly chopped orgeano (or dried)
salt + cracked black pepper
tbsp of red pepper flakes

Kale Salad
1 head of kale, cut off the stems, rinse and dry, put in a big bowl chopped up. Dress with a large wedge of lemon, use a fork to squish it to get all the juice out. Add good quality olive oil, couple tbsps i never measure. and rub the leaves with what you’ve just dressed the salad with so that the leaves become more whilted.
season with salt and peper and you’re done

ASSEMBLE:
Kale + warm sliced steak  + then add a couple tbsps of Chimichurri
