Methods
- Preheat griddle to medium heat. Allow 10-15 minutes, or until the surface darkens and light smoke appears.
- Add Graza Frizzle to griddle, then lay down potato wedges. Season with SPG.
- Separately add red pepper planks and oil to griddle. Cook until peppers are charred on both sides and cut into small dices.
- In a small bowl, combine red peppers, parsley, red Fresnos, garlic, red wine vinegar, shallot, and 2TB Graza Drizzle oil. This mixture will be your Chimichurri Rojo.
- Flip Potato wedges once first side has cooked for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown. Season again and if needed add more oil.
- Next lay down your steaks and season with Steakhouse seasoning. Steaks should cook 3-4 minutes per side or until desired doneness, then pull from griddle and rest before slicing.
- Squeeze the lemon halves over the asparagus then season with the lemon pepper. Add asparagus to griddle. Asparagus cooks fast in only 2-3 minutes depending on thickness.
- Once potatoes are fully cooked pull from griddle and add to a medium bowl with the sugars and toss. Shake some Steakhouse seasoning on them to taste and toss to combine.
- To plate slice steak and build a base of potato wedges, then asparagus, then sliced steak. Top with the chimichurri rojo and enjoy!
