I unfortunately work late every Monday night so Matt and I are going to celebrate Valentine's out of order. Tonight (Sunday) we made a new steak dinner with a very nice bottle of wine we bought in Napa Valley. The steak was marinated in a chimichurri sauce for 4 hours. It was made of fresh oregano, fresh parsley, fresh cilantro, jalapenos, and some basic things like salt, oil, vinegar, etc. Matt grilled them and they were really good. I loved how deep the marinade actually penetrated. I must admit that I was slightly skeptical because it was so chunky and I'm used to liquid marinades but it worked beautifully.
We served it with an ancho chili risotto cake that was very tasty. Although, I used WAY to much oil and they didn't get to cook long enough before they started to fall apart. May we'll try again some other time. I really don't care to fry things though.
Matt doesn't know it yet but I've planned quite the dessert. I plan on posting a picture in a little bit so I'll write about it then.
