Ingredients
- 2 steaks we had NY strip steaks
- ½ butternut squash medium
- ½ zucchini/courgette large or 1 small
For chimichurri sauce
- ½ cup parsley leaves
- ½ cup cilantro/coriander leaves
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano (or 1 tablespoon fresh)
- 1 ½ tablespoon red wine vinegar
- ½ tablespoon lime juice
- 1 dash salt
- 1 dash red pepper flakes
- ¼ cup olive oil
Instructions
- Pat the steaks dry then lightly season with some salt and pepper and drizzle a little olive oil over and rub it all in. Do the same on both sides.
- Cut the butternut squash into round slices about ½in/1cm thick - don't bother peeling - and pre-cook either by steaming or putting in the microwave (put in a microwaveable dish with a little water for a minute or two then test and turn as needed) until just tender and cooked.
- Cut the zucchini into thick-ish slices (on the diagonal can be good to make them easier to handle on the grill).
Cup of Yum
For the chimichurri sauce
- Make the sauce by blending everything apart from the oil in a blender/food processor until pretty finely chopped but not a paste, or chop finely by hand. Add the oil and pulse to combine.
To finish the dish
- Grill the squash, zucchini and steaks on the grill until the vegetables are lightly charred and the steaks are cooked to your taste.
- Serve with the chimichurri sauce drizzled over the top.
