This chimichurri steak meal prep is so, so good. You'll love the zesty sauce against steak and sweet potatoes. Comes together quickly for a Whole30-compliant meal!
This traditional Argentinian chimichurri sauce is bursting with herbs and tangy flavors and is truly an ideal complement to a grilled steak. Traditional chimichurri sauce has an olive oil and vinegar base, but this one takes the fresh flavor up a notch with a splash of lemon juice. You choose your favorite option!
These boxes are packed with sweet potato wedges and a simple tomato and cucumber salad for a flavor packed and nutritious meal.
Chimichurri Sauce:
Prep the sauce right in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the blade attachment. You can make this ahead of time if you want. Just keep it in the fridge in a well-sealed container until it's time to use. Stir to recombine the ingredients if they separate.
Meanwhile, roast the potatoes in the oven and prep your grill (or grill pan, if you're cooking the steaks indoors) for the steak. Cook it your favorite way, which may be different depending on the time of year. But the steaks will cook more quickly than the potatoes, but not by much, so keep that in mind as you're prepping.
Once everything's made, portion the components out into separate compartments in meal prep containers, seal them up, and transfer to the fridge. You can eat the steak at room temperature if you like (it's kinda good that way for a lazy lunch) but if you've gotta reheat the potatoes, you might as well loosely wrap the steak and potatoes in a little foil and reheat at 350 F for 15 minutes or so.
You can freeze all components of this dish, although the potatoes won't fare so well. The chimichurri sauce can be doubled and frozen in ice cube trays if you want. Each "cube" can be popped out into a hot pan along with whatever you're cooking it with.
Choose your favorite cut of beef (flank or skirt steak work really well here), or use this sauce on top of chicken or a mild fish such as cod or tilapia. It's also good on salmon, too. You might have a hard time finding things that this DOESN'T taste good with!
Use a combination of cilantro and parsley, if desired.
Lime also works if you don't have lemons or want to go all juice instead of the vinegar-and-juice combo in this recipe.
The sauce is really delicious and you'll want to dip everything in it or at least drizzle it on things. Use any leftover sauce on top of rice or pasta, or as a dip for your potatoes. (Seriously, make sure the sweet potatoes get sauced!)
