Ingredients

For the Steak

  • 1 lb Steak flank steak, NY strip, Ribeye, etc.
  • 1 tbsp. Olive Oil
  • Salt & Pepper

Cranberry Chimichurri Sauce:

  • 1/2 cup Parsley minced
  • 1/2 cup Cilantro minced
  • 1 Jalapeno Pepper seeds removed (optional) and minced
  • 3 cloves Garlic minced
  • 1 Shallot minced
  • 1/2 cup Fresh Cranberries macerated
  • 1 Lime juiced
  • 2 tbsp. Red Wine Vinegar
  • 2/3 cup Olive Oil

Optional

  • 1 Avocado mashed
  • 4 Tortillas I used low carb mission tortillas
  • 2 tbsp. Avocado oil for pan frying optional

Instructions

Cranberry Chimichurri

  • In a small blender or food processor, pulse the fresh cranberries until minced and slightly macerated and the juices have released (do not blend anything else in the food processor).
  • Finely mince the parsley and cilantro and add to a bowl. Add in the cranberries, jalapeno, shallot, and minced garlic cloves.
  • Pour in the olive oil, vinegar, lime juice and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Stir the chimichurri sauce until everything is combined and set it aside to develop flavor.

Steak Insutrctions:

  • Preheat the grill to high heat.
  • Remove the steak from any packaging and pat dry with paper towels.
  • Lightly oil each side of the steak and season generously with sea salt and black pepper.
  • Sear the steaks 2-3 minutes per side or until you have hit a desired level of doneness (I pull around 125-130 F. for medium rare).
  • Let the steak rest 5-10 minutes before slicing thin pieces against the grain.
  • To make the crostini lightly pan fry tortilla rounds 1-2 minutes per side. Add a small amount of mashed avocado and a few slices of steak. Top with the cranberry chimichurri sauce and enjoy!

Notes

You can also place bite sized pieces onto a toothpick and serve with chimichurri over top or as a dipping sauce as well for a gluten free and even lower carb option!
