Method
Before You Begin
Prepare your ingredients & cooking utensils. Use a chopping board and lay all the ingredients out. Take out any "Pantry Items". Preheat your oven to 220°C.
Washing Instruction
Wash your hands and cherry tomatoes well. Rinse your baby spinach, Italian flat-leaf parsley, and coriander thoroughly and drain on paper towel
Gino's Tip
If you don’t have a mortar and pestle; finely chop all your herbs, add your crushed garlic, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, DailyDish Spice Mix and olive oil to your medium mixing bowl. All that’s left, is to season to taste with salt and pepper.
Step 1 - Fresh Roma Tomato Jumble and Chimichurri
Toss your butternut chunks and quartered pearl onions in a large mixing bowl, drizzle with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Scatter onto an oven tray, add your butter, cover with foil and pop into the oven for 15 minutes. While your vegetables are roasting; using a mortar and pestle, grind your roughly chopped parsley, coriander, red wine vinegar, and crushed garlic until roughly paste-like. Now mix in your lemon juice, Daily Dish Spice Mix and a good few glugs of olive oil. Season with salt and pepper to taste - reserve this mix (chimichurri sauce) in a medium mixing bowl for use in Step 2. After your vegetables have roasted for 15 minutes, remove your foil and continue roasting for an additional 15 minutes. Once your vegetables are lightly browned and still warm, mix in your halved cherry tomatoes and baby spinach. Taste and season with salt and pepper.
Step 2 - Chimichurri Sirloin
Season your sirloin steak with salt and pepper. Heat a large frying pan over med-high heat, once your pan is hot but not smoking, add a drizzle of olive oil and fry your steaks for 3-4 minutes on each side or cooked to your desired doneness. Once cooked, add it to the medium mixing bowl with your chimichurri sauce and toss to coat then allow to rest while your serving.
To Serve
Place your fresh Roma tomato jumble as your base, top with your chimichurri sirloin (whole or sliced) and drizzle over your remaining sauce - use discretion when it comes to your kids - and dollops of sour cream. Enjoy!
