Hi Friends,

Don’t worry. We haven’t forgotten about steak. One way to grill your steak while still keeping dinner healthy is by pairing the red meat with a salad and light sauce. This grilled rib-eye formula from Eating Well is the ticket. It’ll take you less than an hour to make, and when you’re eating your steak alongside a fresh tomato salad, you can feel good about what you’re eating. On top of the steak also goes a chimichurri sauce made from parsley, garlic, chipotle pepper, vinegar, and olive oil. Your grilled steaks just went up a sophisticated notch.

Ingredients:

Chimichurri sauce:

• 1 cup packed flat-leaf parsley leaves (from 1 large bunch)
• 1 small clove garlic, chopped
• 3 tablespoons distilled white vinegar
• 4 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
• ½ teaspoon kosher salt
• ¼ teaspoon ground chipotle pepper or cayenne pepper

Tomato salad:

• 4 medium tomatoes, cut into wedges
• ½ cup thinly sliced sweet onion
• 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 tablespoon distilled white vinegar
• ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
• ¼ teaspoon freshly ground pepper

Grilled Rib-eye:

• 1 pound boneless rib-eye steak, about 1 inch thick, trimmed of fat and cut into 4 portions
• ½ teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
• ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
• ¼ teaspoon ground pepper

Directions:
To prepare the sauce: Chop parsley and garlic together on a cutting board until the parsley is finely minced. Transfer to a medium bowl, add vinegar, oil, ½ teaspoon salt and chipotle (or cayenne) pepper; stir to combine.

Preheat grill to high.

To prepare the salad: Combine tomatoes, onion, oil, and vinegar in a medium bowl. Season with salt and pepper.

To prepare the steak: Rub steak with oil. Season on both sides with salt and pepper. Grill the steak 3 to 4 minutes per side for medium-rare. Allow the steak to rest 5 minutes; serve with the salad on the side and a dollop of the Chimichurri Sauce on top.
