Cooking for 2 people

Ingredients

  • 2

    ribeye, average 1 pound

  • 1

    summer squash, cut into coins

  • 1

    zucchini, cut into coins

  • vegetable oil as needed

  • 1 cup

    cilantro

  • 1 cup

    parsley

  • 1 cup

    red onion, diced

  • 1 tbsp.

    garlic, peeled

  • 2 tbsp.

    red wine vinegar

  • juice of 1 lime

  • 1 tsp.

    red pepper flakes

  • kosher salt & black pepper as needed


1Food Prep

Place your chimichurri ingredients into a food processor. Coarse chop for 15 seconds while drizzling in oil, then transfer your chimichurri into a small bowl and set aside until needed.
Place your ribeye onto a small pan, drizzle oil onto both sides of it, then season it with salt and pepper across both sides. Give your steaks 15–20 minutes to reach room temperature before grilling. This helps you get a more even cook.
If you’re using bamboo skewers, soak them in water for at least 1 hour to prevent them from burning.
Place your summer squash and zucchini onto a cutting board and cut them into ½” thick coins. Place your cut summer squash and zucchini into a medium mixing bowl and drizzle them in oil, salt and pepper. Toss the squash and zucchini until evenly coated, then place them onto skewers.”
