Steak with Avocado Chimichurri Sauce & Home fries (w30/paleo)

Y’all, I am so excited to share this new recipe! I’m seriously obsessed with avocados (but really, who isn’t?) and lately I’ve been craving for a recipe that mixes some of my favorite things…steak, avocado and home fries. Sound good? Keep reading.

Obviously, eating paleo relies on lots of meat consumption, so it’s imperative to have high quality, grass-fed and finished beef. Grass-fed and finished means the cows are consuming grass throughout their entire lives. Simple. The majority of cows raised for human consumption in the U.S., eat grains…not grass. This is why it’s so important to eat grass-fed beef. I do a lot to avoid grains in my diet, so I don’t want grains sneaking in through my beef.

I get my grass-fed steak from ungrocery. Ungrocery is an online marketplace for quality food that connects you straight to the origin. It just launched, and releases a new producer and product every week. If you’re into quality food, ungrocery is the place for you. Ungrocery is a great resource for those, like me, who don’t make it to the local farmer’s market every week or prefer quality food but aren’t sure where to purchase it. Is there something you have trouble finding or have a favorite item you’d love to see featured on ungrocery? Tell them about it! Want to be the first to know of new products and vendors on ungrocery?

  2. Add ghee to the cast iron skillet.

  3. Pat the steak dry and place it in the cast iron skillet.

  4. Cook on each side for around 5 minutes for medium well.

  5. After cooking, let the steak rest for 5 to 10 minutes.

The people at ungrocery were kind enough to provide me with meat for this recipe.
