Steak with Chimichurri and a Halloumi Chickpea Salad

I’d picked up some nice large steaks the other that I cooked tonight after making a chimichurri during the day.

Chimichurri

I basically followed this recipe:

but used sherry vinegar.

It would have been better with fresh oregano as I’ve mostly done it in the past.

Still, it’s a great combo. The steaks I basically let come up to temperature, lightly seasoned them, cooked them for a bit under 2 mins each side in a pan, let them rest, served with the chimichurri and ate them. Yummy.

G actually was pretty happy with a bit of steak too, sometimes he has a funny reaction to meat, but this was pretty tender and tasty imo.

I also made a chickpea & halloumi salad to serve with it.

It was very close to this recipe:

I didn’t use Asda ingredients as such, and screw low-fat for halloumi, but it was super tasty. G ate heaps, particularly of the salad, and L was really happy with the whole meal I think.
