If you are getting ready to grill up some steaks this spring, try this recipe. It is really good.
Ingredients
- 3/4 pound green beans, trimmed
- 1 pint grape tomatoes, halved
- 1 tablespoon olive oil, plus more for grill grates
- Salt and freshly ground pepper
- 2 strip steaks (about 1-inch thick), about 1 1/2 pounds total, trimmed of excess fat and halved
- Chimichurri sauce, recipe follows
Place a double layered piece of heavy-duty
foil on a tray or cutting board; fold and gather edge to form a rim.
Toss the green beans and tomatoes on foil with 1 tablespoon olive oil;
season with salt and pepper.
Preheat a grill to medium. Lightly oil the grill grates and season the steak with salt and pepper. Slide the foil tray onto the grill; cook, tossing occasionally, until the beans char slightly and cook through, about 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, add the steaks to the grill; cook until desired doneness, about 5 minutes per side for medium-rare. Remove steaks to cutting board to rest 5 minutes. Slice, and serve steak and the vegetables with the Chimichurri Sauce.
