Grilled Steak with Green Sauce & Simple Radish Salad
We had a very successful farmers market last weekend and sold out of almost everything. It was the best one of the season for us and we knew we needed to celebrate with a tasty meal. One of the things we like to prepare when we’re celebrating any occasion is a good old fashioned steak! I don’t know if I get this from my parents (or probably, if I’m being accurate, my grandparents) but all of life’s major milestones (whether big or small) are usually celebrated with steak. It goes back as far as I can remember whether it was my grandmother’s famous flank steak recipe or my folk’s traditional grilled steak and baked potatoes. Anything worth celebrating was an excuse to fire up the grill or crank up the oven.
This recipe is packed full of flavor and while there are a few steps in the prep work–making the spice rub and green sauce–this does come together fairly quickly. I really loved the green sauce which was a combination of radish greens, parsley and cilantro. It’s a great sauce and would work well with other meats and even stirred into pasta. The spice rub we whipped up was also a lovely addition and I know I’ll be making this again soon. We served our steaks with the simple radish salad from a few days ago for a tasty celebratory meal. Of course there were a few glasses of un-pictured wine to tie it all together. I hope you all enjoy this meal as much as we do.

Your green sauce sounds kind of like a chimichurri sauce that is served in Argentina with their grilled beef. Delicious!
