Instructions

1- Marinate the Steak:

• In a bowl, combine crushed garlic, olive oil, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, orange juice, lime juice, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
• Coat the steak well with the marinade and let it sit in the fridge for at least an hour.

2- Prepare the Broccoli Rabe:

• Trim any unwanted parts from the broccoli rabe, focusing on removing the bottom half of the stems.
• In a pan or pot, heat olive oil and lightly sear the crushed garlic until golden. Remove the garlic to avoid burning.
• Add broccoli rabe to the pan and let it steam down. Add the garlic back along with red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Cook for 6-7 minutes or until desired tenderness is reached.

3- Cook the Potatoes:

• Boil mini red potatoes for approximately 15 minutes until tender. Drain and toss with butter.

4- Grill the Steak:

• Heat a pan until it's smoking hot. Add the marinated steak and cook without moving it for at least 2 minutes.
• Once the steak is easily movable, flip it and repeat. Cook according to your preference:
  • 3-5 minutes for medium-rare (135°F internal temperature)
  • 5-7 minutes for medium (140°F)
  • 8-10 minutes for medium-well (150°F)

5- Make Chimichurri Sauce:

• In a bowl, mix cilantro, parsley, minced garlic, scotch bonnet pepper, and lemon/lime juice. Season with salt and pepper.

6- Serve:

• Plate the steak with a side of broccoli rabe and potatoes. Drizzle the chimichurri sauce over the steak and enjoy.

Cooking Tips

• Use oils with a high smoke point, like vegetable, avocado, peanut, canola, sunflower, or sesame for the best steak sear.
• Adjust the heat level in the chimichurri by omitting the scotch bonnet or replacing it with a milder pepper.
