Let’s make some Argentinian Matambre for Christmas

flank steak

🥗Healthier: chicken breast

💰Cheaper: pork shoulder

Chicken is leaner and pork is often less expensive.

hard-boiled eggs

🥗Healthier: tofu

💰Cheaper: cooked potatoes

Tofu adds protein while potatoes are budget-friendly.

olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: vegetable oil

Avocado oil is healthier, while vegetable oil is often cheaper.

cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: processed cheese

Nutritional yeast is lower in fat, while processed cheese is less expensive.

Butterfly the flank steak to create a large surface area.

Make a chimichurri-style sauce with garlic, parsley, salt, black pepper, red pepper flakes, and olive oil.

Spread the sauce evenly over the opened flank steak.

Add hard-boiled eggs down the center and strips of red and green bell pepper on top.

Roll the flank steak carefully to keep the filling inside and secure with kitchen twine.

Boil the rolled matambre for 1 hour and 30 minutes.

Let it cool in the refrigerator before serving.
