Sicilian-Style Grilled Steak
We celebrated the end of a long week with this fresh, flavorful, garlicky steak. You start by blending garlic and salt into a paste, and then add fresh herbs, olive oil, red pepper flakes, and lemon juice. This sauce is called a salmoriglio – use as a marinade and then serve it over the sliced grilled steak.
Serve with roasted brussels sprouts or roasted broccoli, and Meiomi Pinot noir.

The combination of creamy rice, shrimp, peas, lemon zest, and pecorino cheese is hard to forget.
