Directions

For the Chimichurri:

  2. Stir in the remaining ingredients and mix well. Add more olive oil as needed.

For the Crispy Garlic-Herb Potatoes:

  1. In a pot, cover the potatoes in cold water and bring to a simmer; lower heat and cook through. Drain the potatoes and halve them.
  2. Mix softened butter and Garlic Flavor Concentrate together and reserve.
  3. In a saute pan, add the clarified butter over medium to medium-high heat and place the potatoes in the pan cut-side down. Cook until deeply browned, then flip them over and add the herbs to quickly fry.
  4. Add the butter-garlic mixture and toss with the salt and pepper. Set aside.

For the NY Strip Steaks:

  1. Rub the steaks all over with a layer of the Beef Base. Season with salt and pepper.
  2. Grill over high heat until desired doneness. Rest before slicing.
  3. For each serving, slice one steak and fan it over a plate. Top with 2 oz Chimichurri and add 4 oz Crispy Garlic-Herb Potatoes on the side.
