Radish Shoot Chimichurri on Butter Pan Fried Steak

Radish Shoot Chimichurri on Butter Pan Fried Steak

The other day when I was waiting to get a flu shot (surely the sexiest opening line ever), I was perusing Instagram and saw that Rail City had just started carrying radish shoots.

What the what!?!

I told myself if I didn’t faint – or even whimper – when I saw the needle, my payoff would be a bag of those spicy, beautiful little strands of flavor.

I didn’t faint.

Jedd assures me I didn’t whimper much, if at all.

So, I bounced out of the doctor’s office and into the store and came out with a bag of these bad boys.

We had some steak that needed to be used – like that’s a chore – and so the idea popped into my head to make a radish chimichurri.

I love the spicy radish flavor with the bright red wine vinegar and herbs.

This is the perfect meal for a Saturday night, with a glass of Malbec.
