The Steak and Chimichurri:

Tender, juicy filet mignon, seared on the cooktop and finished in the oven, drizzled in fresh lime chimichurri… simply dreamy. Chimichurri originated in Argentina and is usually a simple combination of onions, garlic, olive oil, green herbs, and lemon or lime juice. Totally worth the five minutes it takes to whisk together!

The Potatoes:

Crispy roasted potatoes are our favorite. We used ‘new gold’ potatoes for this board but you could also use fingerling or even sweet potatoes. We drizzle them in olive oil and sprinkle with sea salt and freshly turned black pepper and then pop them in the oven. While they roast, we prep the salad and cook the steaks. The whole meal takes about 50 minutes, from start to gloriously delicious finish!

The Salad:

Keeping it simple here: greens, apples, caramelized pecans, feta and a light, lemon vinaigrette!

    Love this easy recipe that my husband would gobble up! I like the versatility of subbing out the potatoes with something that is more in keeping with a low carb diet.

    This looks like the perfect date-night in meal. I looooove chimichurri and try to make it all the time as a flavour booster but also because I always have SO many dang herbs in my fridge on the cusp of expiration!
