Chimichurri Sauce

Seafood

Garlic Mashed Potatoes

Seasonal Vegetable Side

Method

Preparing the Chimichurri Sauce

  1. 1

    Make the Chimichurri

    In a blender or food processor, combine the parsley, oregano, garlic, red wine vinegar, olive oil, red pepper flakes, and salt. Blend until well combined and set aside.

Cooking the Steak

  1. 2

    Season the Filet Mignon

    Pat the filet mignon dry with paper towels. Season both sides generously with salt and black pepper.

  2. 3

    Sear the Steak

    Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the filet mignon and sear for about 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or to your desired doneness.

  3. 4

    Rest the Steak

    Remove the steak from the skillet, cover loosely with aluminum foil, and let it rest for 5 minutes.

Cooking the Seafood

  1. 5

    Prepare the Shrimp and Grouper

    In the same skillet (add more oil if needed), season the shrimp with lemon juice, garlic powder, and paprika. Add the shrimp and grouper to the skillet.

  2. 6

    Cook the Seafood

    Cook the shrimp for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they are pink and cooked through. Cook the grouper for about 3-4 minutes on each side.

Making Garlic Mashed Potatoes

  1. 7

    Cook the Potatoes

    In a pot, add the cubed potatoes and garlic cloves. Cover with water, add salt, and bring to a boil. Cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes.

  2. 8

    Mash the Potatoes

    Drain the potatoes and garlic, then return them to the pot. Add butter and milk, and mash until smooth and creamy. Adjust salt to taste.

Cooking the Seasonal Side

  1. 9

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a separate skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the seasonal vegetables, season with salt and black pepper, and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until tender-crisp.

Serving

  1. 10

    Plate the Dish

    On a plate, serve the garlic mashed potatoes, topped with the filet mignon and chimichurri. Add the grilled shrimp and grouper alongside the seasonal vegetables.
