“Grilled Skirt Steak: The Perfect Stay-At-Home Parent Recipe!”
Grilled Skirt Steak with Chimichurri Sauce
As a stay-at-home parent, I know how busy life can get. Finding time to cook a nutritious meal for my family can be a challenge, so having quick and easy recipes on hand is a must. One of my favorite weeknight meals to prepare is grilled skirt steak with chimichurri sauce. It’s an easy dish to make and it’s always a hit with my family.
The star of this dish is the skirt steak. The skirt steak is a thin cut of meat from the plate section of the cow, so it cooks quickly and is full of flavor. To prepare the steak, I season it generously with salt and pepper, then let it come to room temperature before grilling. I prefer to cook the steak over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes per side, until it’s cooked to your desired doneness.
An essential part of the meal is the homemade chimichurri sauce. This bright and herby sauce is made by combining fresh parsley, cilantro, garlic, olive oil, red wine vinegar, and lemon juice in a food processor or blender. I like to blend all of the ingredients together until they’re completely combined into a smooth sauce. The chimichurri sauce can be served as-is or thinned out with a bit more olive oil and lemon juice if desired.
Once the steak is cooked and the chimichurri sauce is prepared, I like to serve the meal over a bed of arugula or spinach for added nutrition and texture. The grilled steak pairs perfectly with the herby chimichurri sauce and makes for an easy but delicious weeknight meal that everyone in my family loves.
I’ll never forget the first time I made this dish for my family. It was about 8 years ago when my oldest daughter was just a toddler and I was trying to find ways to make healthy meals without spending too much time in the kitchen. Grilled skirt steak with chimichurri sauce was one of our go-to weeknight meals and it quickly became a family favorite. To this day, it remains one of our favorite meals because of its simplicity and big flavor!

“Easy and Delicious Beef and Sweet Potato Stir-Fry: The Perfect Recipe for Busy Stay-at-Home Parents!”
Staying at Home with Beef and Sweet Potato Stir Fry
As a stay at home parent, I have to get creative when it comes to spending time with my family. One of the ways I do this is by cooking delicious meals that combine flavors, textures, and ingredients that are both healthy and delicious. One of my go-to recipes is a beef and sweet potato stir fry. Not only does it take less than 30 minutes to whip up, but it’s also a great way to get my family excited about sitting down together for dinner.
The key to making this dish so tasty is combining fresh ingredients with savory seasonings. For the beef, I use lean ground beef that has been cooked in a pan with olive oil, garlic powder, and onion powder. This mixture gives the beef a wonderfully rich flavor that pairs well with the sweet potatoes.
To prepare the sweet potatoes for the stir fry, I cut them into cubes and roast them in the oven for about 20 minutes. During this time, I like to prepare the vegetables for the stir fry—which usually includes bell peppers, mushrooms, snow peas, water chestnuts, and onions. After roasting the sweet potatoes, I add them to the vegetables in a large skillet and cook everything on medium heat until all the vegetables are tender.
Once everything is done cooking, I add teriyaki sauce to give it a sweet and savory flavor. After that, I serve up the stir fry over cooked brown rice or quinoa and garnish it with chopped green onions or cilantro. To top it off, I like to make a side of Sriracha mayo that’s made from mixing together mayonnaise and Sriracha hot sauce—this adds just enough heat and creaminess to balance out all of the other flavors in the dish.
I love making this dish not only because it’s a great way to get my family around the dinner table but also because of its unique flavor profile. The combination of sweet potatoes with savory ground beef creates an unforgettable taste that everyone in my family loves—and what’s even better is that it’s something we can all enjoy together as we reminisce about our days as stay at home parents.
