## Smoky, Sizzling, Perfectly Medium Rare Steaks with Japanese Inspired Chimichurri, Jammy Eggs, and Roasted Bone Marrow
Crafting an unforgettable date night dinner doesn’t have to be overwhelming or extremely intricate. This dish features smoky, elegantly seared medium rare steaks paired with a flavorful Japanese-inspired chimichurri, jammy eggs, and decadent roasted bone marrow. It’s an enjoyable meal that achieves the ideal equilibrium—fulfilling without resulting in a food coma.
### Japanese Chimichurri
This distinct version of chimichurri was first unveiled in 2019 and has since become popular, inspiring numerous variations throughout the culinary world. The straightforward ingredients and simple preparation make it a fantastic option for a romantic evening.
### Cooking Notes
For best results, cook your steaks at 200ºF for approximately 40 minutes or at 350ºF for 20 minutes. The aim is to achieve an internal temperature of 115ºF for a flawless medium rare after searing. A quick meat thermometer is crucial for precision. When searing, utilize a stainless steel pan for 1 minute per side or a cast iron skillet for 30 seconds per side, ensuring the oil is hot enough to generate smoke.
Boiling the eggs in advance and storing them unpeeled in the refrigerator will streamline the peeling process.
### Ingredient Notes
Bone marrow is usually available at significant grocery stores. If you can’t find it, ask your butcher for soup bones.
### What You Need
– A high-sided baking dish
– A rack
– A cast iron or stainless steel skillet
– A splatter guard
– A meat thermometer
– Tiny spoons for serving the bone marrow
### Recipe: Date Night Steak with Japanese Chimichurri, Roasted Bone Marrow, and Jammy Eggs
#### Servings: 2
#### Ingredients
– 2 steaks (8 oz each)
– 2 marrow bones
– 1 clove garlic (crushed)
– 1 tbsp rice vinegar
– 2 tbsp fresh cilantro (chopped)
– 1 tbsp toasted sesame oil
– 1/4 tsp salt
– 4 large eggs
#### Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 200ºF (or 350ºF). Season the steaks and lay them on a foil-lined baking tray. Position the marrow bones alongside the steaks. Roast for 40 minutes at 200ºF or 20 minutes at 350ºF. Use a meat thermometer to verify the temperature midway through.
2. In a bowl, mix garlic, rice vinegar, cilantro, sesame oil, and salt. Set aside.
3. Boil water and cook the eggs for 6.5 minutes. Move them to an ice bath to halt the cooking process.
4. When the steaks reach 115ºF, take them out of the oven. Heat oil in a skillet over high heat until it begins to smoke. Sear the marrow bones followed by the steaks (30 seconds per side for cast iron, 1 minute for stainless).
5. Peel the eggs, halve them, slice the steaks against the grain, and serve with chimichurri, jammy eggs, and roasted bone marrow.
