This is a steak and chim churi dense bean salad. So many flavors and textures. It’s perfect to meal prep and eat throughout the week. I start by marinating the steak with soy sauce, red wine vinegar, and lemon juice. And then I like to let my garlic mellow out in some red wine vinegar while I prep the rest of my ingredients. Absolutely love olives, but don’t toss the juice. Save it and make martini. Give everything a rough chop. I’m using red onions. And since it is a chimmy cherry salad, we’re going to use cilantro and parsley. I went ahead and seared my steak. I used ribeye, but you can also use flank or skirt steak. Now we can assemble everything. So I’m going to add my two beans, all of my ingredients. I even added capers.

  1. This is my take on the viral chimichurri steak dense bean salad! These are some of my favorite types of dishes to keep meal prepped in the fridge because they taste better the longer that they sit in their own dressing and it’s a complete meal packed with protein! So if you love the flavors of chimichurri, you’re going to absolutely love this salad!!
