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!
