I know the recipe I made last week also had a cilantro avocado topping, but this steak recipe had to be tried. Plus, with the rain finally stopping and the weather starting to warm up, it was nice to get outside and use the grill! Anyways, about this recipe, it was so delicious and also really super quick to make. The sweet potato fries combo was inspired by a Steak Frites meal I recently ordered in Nashville... I don't know how I've never tried that meal before, it was amazing! And so is this Paleo steak and frites version I made. It is definitely worth a try!

Grilled Flank Steak with Avocado Chimichurri
Ingredients:
  • 2 lb flank steak
  • salt & pepper to season
Avocado Chimichurri:*
  • ¾ cup fresh cilantro
  • 1 tablespoon fresh oregano
  • 1 garlic clove
  • 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper
  • 3 avocados, diced
*I made 1/3 of the Avocadco Chimichurri, which covered two meals, since this guacomole style topping goes bad quickly. I plan to prep more throughout the week for the rest of the meals.

Directions:
  1. Heat grill to medium high or 400 degrees.
  2. To a food processor add, cilantro, oregano, garlic, red wine vinegar, olive oil, lime juice, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth.
  3. In add small bowl add diced avocado and blended chimichurri sauce. Lightly toss to coat, be careful not to mush the avocado. (you want them to remain diced)
  4. Season a room temperature flank steak with salt and pepper on both sides.
  5. Place steak on grill and cook for 4-6 minutes per side.
  6. Remove from grill, let sit for 2-3 minutes. Slice steak.
  7. Serve with avocado chimichurri sauce.

My Homemade Sweet Potato Fries
(Basically just roasted sweet potatoes)
Ingredients:
  • 4-6 Sweet Potatoes (Depending on how much you want to make. 5 medium sized sweet potatoes usually gets me 6 oz of sweet potato fries for 6 meals. I think my idea of medium sized is bigger than most though.)
  • Olive oil spray
  • Sea salt (I actually use Garlic Sea Salt on everything I cook)
  • Optional: Cinnamon
Directions:
  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees
  2. Skin and cut the sweet potatoes into whatever shape you want. I either do fries, wedges or circles.
  3. Spray baking pan with olive oil. Lay down sweet potato fries flat (please do not just dump a pile on the pan).
  4. I fill my Misto with olive oil and lightly spray the fries, then add some sea salt (sometimes cinnamon too).
  5. Bake for 15-20 minutes. Take out of the oven and move them around or flip them over. Bake for another 15-20 minutes.
  6. Keep an eye on them, if they are thin bake for less time, and vice versa. Key is to move them around or flip them over half way through baking them. I usually make mine thicker, so I bake them for at least a total of 40 minutes.
