Rare, medium or well done. Who can resist a perfectly charred steak? Paleo, gluten free, low carb, protein packed and absolutely mouthwatering!
Remember the three golden rules of cooking steak. First, ensure your steak is at room temperature so that it cooks evenly and stays tender. Next, your frypan must be at a medium – high heat to seal the surface, create a beautiful char and trap in the juices. Lastly, you must allow the steak to rest after cooking to relax the muscle fibres and allow the juices to settle.
Chimichurri is one of my all time favourite steak sauces because it packs a powerful South American flavour punch. It is great for those on a detox as it is dairy and gluten free and vegan friendly too. This is caveman food at it’s best. Enjoy!
