I've been on a mini vacation and I have taken this time to eat some of the best food Las Vegas has to offer.
I will be sharing a few of these delicious meals I've experienced over the next week, all recreated my way!
Today I start off with my Grilled Steak Pizza with Spicy Roasted Garlic Chimichurri Sauce.
I went to an Argentinian restaurant and they had some of the best steak I've ever eaten and they served it with a big cup of chimichurri sauce.
They also included fresh baked bread to dip in the chimichurri sauce.
I decided to take this dish and turn it into a pizza and I also kicked up my chimichurri sauce with the addition of roasted garlic and a Serrano pepper.
I marinated my steaks, grilled them up and then used Naan flat bread as a pizza crust.
All done and ready to eat, I also served an extra side of chimichurri sauce for dipping.
This dish is a real winner, and so simple to put together, it's a new family favorite.
Enjoy.

This looks great....but that dish of roasted garlic YUMMY!!! Please tell me how you did your garlic. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteReally simple Mimi, my husband bought it from the grocery store in the deli section. lol, but if you want to make it from scratch, I just take garlic heads in the skin, cut of the tip just to barely expose the garlic, place on foil drizzle with olive oil and spices and herbs, like dry thyme a pinch of dry oregano, pepper, salt, wrap them in foil and bake for about 1 1/2 hours at 375 degrees, remove from oven and pop them out. I am going to make it for the site. It's really simple.
DeleteThanks so much for replying . Since your husband can't shop for me I'll have to make my own. lol Thanks for the recipe!
