Cumin Chimichurri Skirt Steak
with a Summery Avocado and Charred Corn Salad
Chimichurri is Argentina’s version of pesto. It’s herby, garlicky, and a delight to drizzle over just about anything—especially a nice piece of beef. And speaking of beef, you’ll be searing up a skirt steak, which is prized for its robust, deep flavor. With a jumble of roasted sweet potatoes, corn, avocado, and tomatoes on the side, it’s got the perfect balance of colorful veggie wholesomeness and luxuriant, meaty decadence.

Instructions
Wash and dry all produce. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Peel sweet potatoes, then cut into ½-inch cubes. Cut corn kernels from cob. Halve and peel onion, then cut into ⅓-inch-thick slices. Mince 1 clove garlic (we sent more). Mince chili, removing ribs and seeds for less heat. Finely chop cilantro. Halve lemon and lime. Halve tomatoes.
Toss sweet potatoes on a baking sheet with a drizzle of oil and a large pinch of salt and pepper. Roast until browned and slightly crispy, 20-25 minutes, tossing halfway through.
Set aside 1 TBSP cilantro for garnish, then combine remaining cilantro, ½ tsp cumin (we sent more), 3 TBSP olive oil, a pinch of garlic, chili (to taste), and a squeeze of lemon in a small bowl. Season generously with salt, pepper, and more garlic and lemon (to taste).
Toss onion on another baking sheet with a drizzle of oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. Roast in oven until just starting to soften, about 5 minutes, then add corn to same sheet. Return to oven and continue roasting until both are just beginning to char, about 7 minutes more.
Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Season steak all over with salt and pepper. Add to pan and cook to desired doneness, 2-4 minutes per side. Remove from pan and let rest 5 minutes before thinly slicing against the grain.
Halve, pit, and peel avocado, then cut into cubes. Add to a medium bowl along with corn, onion, sweet potatoes, tomatoes, reserved cilantro, a squeeze of lime, and any remaining chili (to taste). Season with salt and pepper. Divide salad and steak between plates. Drizzle with chimichurri and serve.
