Chimichurri Sauce

Arugula Fennel Salad

Method

Steak

  1. 1

    Prep the Steak

    Rub the skirt steak with olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Grill the Steak

    Preheat the grill to high heat. Grill the steak for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until desired doneness. Let it rest before slicing.

Chimichurri Sauce

  1. 3

    Make the Chimichurri

    In a bowl, mix together the parsley, oregano, garlic, red wine vinegar, olive oil, red pepper flakes, and salt. Adjust seasoning to taste and set aside.

Arugula Fennel Salad

  1. 4

    Prepare the Salad

    In a large bowl, combine arugula and sliced fennel. Drizzle with lemon juice and olive oil. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Toss gently to combine.

Crispy Yuca Fries

  1. 5

    Fry the Yuca

    In a large pot, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Fry the yuca fries in batches until golden and crispy, about 5-7 minutes per batch. Drain on paper towels and season with salt.
