steak n' tomatoes
a charred lemon olive chimichurri + cookbook reviews!
To be honest, I was not planning this recipe.
Matter of fact, my fridge was unequipped for a meal like this. Or so I thought. If you would believe me, this was a literal fridge clean out meal. I had some previously cut into farmers market heirloom tomatoes, wilty herbs, a few opened jars of olives and a skirt steak that came in my Farm to People box that I had to use.
And then by some means, this ended up being maybe the best thing I had all summer lol. Fridge cleanout meals will do that to ya sometimes!
Anyway, I’ve recently entered my cookbook era and have been siiiifting through every one. Unlike normal people who build a collection over time, I ordered 8 books at once. So I’ve just been making my way through them and got inspired for this dish by Ottolenghi’s charred lemon dressing, and Alison Roman’s leg of lamb over tomatoes.
Lots of people have asked what I think about the books so far so let’s do it!
As I went to link these (linked as the titles below) I’m like shook how every single one is on sale for like 20% + off right now?? Good time to add to your collection if you’ve been eyeing any of these! Good thing I bought all of these all at one, full price lol.
