Ingredients

3/4 pound green beans, trimmed

1 pint grape tomatoes, halved

1 tablespoon olive oil, plus more for grill grates

Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper

2 strip steaks (about 1-inch thick), about 1 1/2 pounds total, trimmed of excess fat and halved

Chimichurri sauce, recipe follows

Chimichurri Sauce:

1/2 small garlic clove

1 tablespoon red-wine vinegar

1/4 cup fresh herbs, such as parsley, mint and cilantro

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

1 tablespoon water

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Directions

  1. Place a double layered piece of heavy-duty foil on a tray or cutting board; fold and gather edge to form a rim. Toss the green beans and tomatoes on foil with 1 tablespoon olive oil; season with salt and pepper.

  3. Meanwhile, add the steaks to the grill; cook until desired doneness, about 5 minutes per side for medium-rare. Remove steaks to cutting board to rest 5 minutes. Slice, and serve steak and the vegetables with the Chimichurri Sauce.

Followed other suggestions and tripled the sauce. I love chimichurri so I used the leftover with leftover green beans, tomatoes, a fried egg and goat cheese for lunch the next day. Love the fresh herbs in this recipe and the balance of savory and acid. Very yummy.
