BLACK PEPPER-CRUSTED STRIP STEAKS WITH MINI CHIMICHURRI

  
Ingredients:

• 2 Cups Fresh Mint Leaves 
• 1 Cup Flat-Leaf Parsley Leaves 
• 1 Cup Fresh Cilantro leaves 
• 8 Cloves Garlic, Chopped 
• 3 Seasoned Chilies, Roasted and Seeled 
• 3 Tablespoons Honey 
• 3 Tablespoons Heinz Spicy Brown Mustard 
• 1 Cup Olive Oil 
• Salt and Freshly Ground Pepper 
• 4-12 oz Strip or Sheel Steaks 
• Kosher Salt 
• Coarsely Cracked Pepper 
 

Directions: 

For the Chimichurri: Combine the mint, parsley, cilantro, garlic, chilies, honey and mustard in a good processor or blender and process to a paste. With the motor running, slowly add the olive oil until emulsified.

Transfer the mixture to a bowl. If the mixture is too thick, whisk in a few tablespoons of cold water to loosen it (the sauce should be like a chunky vinaigrette, not like a mayonnaise. Season to taste with salt and pepper. The Chimichurri can be made a few hours in advance and set aside at room temperature).

For the Steak: Heat your grill to high. Season the steaks with plenty of salt and pepper. Grill until lightly charred and crusty, 3 to 4 mins. Turn the steaks over, reduce the heat to medium or move to a cooler part of the grill, and cook until medium-rare, 5 to 6 mins more.

Remove the steaks form the grill and let rest for 5 mins. Cut into 1-inch thick slices and serve immediately, spooning Chimichurri over each serving.
