Butternut-Stuffed Filo with Truffle Avonaise

AVOCADO CHIMICHURRI SERVED WITH GRILLED STEAK

Chimichurri is an Argentinian fresh herb sauce with a zesty flavor that perfectly complements grilled meat. I recommend buying good-quality beef as it has an unparalleled depth of flavor. This steak can be served as a main course with a fresh green salad, French fries or grilled vegetables. It also is a crowd-pleasing starter and looks impressive served up straight in the skillet.

INGREDIENTS

For the chimichurri: 1 avocado, pit and skin removed, cut into small cubes 4 tbsp. red wine vinegar 10 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil 2 gloves of garlic, grated 1 handful of fresh mint, chopped 1 handful of fresh coriander, chopped 1 handful of fresh parsley, chopped ½ red chilli pepper, finely chopped 1 tbsp. dried Italian herbs (must include oregano) Sea salt and pepper For the grilled steak: ±500g premium steak Sea salt and pepper

METHOD

1 Mix all the ingredients for the chimichurri together in a small bowl and combine well. Season to taste. Add more spice, garlic or herbs to your liking. 2 Cook the steak to your liking. Cut the grilled steak in thin slices and season to taste. Serve on a plate (or as seen on the photo directly in the pan), with the fresh chimichurri and some extra sprigs of coriander. 3 This steak can also be served as a main course with a fresh green salad, French fries or grilled vegetables.
