You’ll be zinging the praises of salsa verde in no time. This version of the classic Mexican-themed condiment is zingy alright, thanks to a dose of balsamic vinegar mixed in with garlic and a bright blast of freshly chopped thyme, rosemary and parsley. It’s a pick-me-upper for a keto-friendly meal of deliciously moist steak, encrusted in our Roman Summer seasonings (with a pinch of cayenne), and served with sautéed zucchini and mushrooms on the side.

Preparation
Cook the steaks
Pat the steaks dry with paper towel; season with S&P. In a medium pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high. Add the steaks* and cook, 3 to 5 min. per side, until cooked as desired (to ensure a consistent temperature throughout, turn over at least twice). Transfer to a cutting board and let rest for 5 min. before slicing against the grain.
Start the vegetables
Meanwhile, in a large pan, heat a generous drizzle of oil on medium-high. Add the mushrooms and sauté, 3 to 4 min., until nicely browned; season with S&P.
Mise en place
Meanwhile, medium-dice the zucchini. Pick the herb leaves off the stems; roughly chop the leaves. Combine the herbs in a small bowl.
Finish the vegetables
To the pan of mushrooms, add the zucchini and ⅔ of the garlic. Sauté, 3 to 5 min., until the zucchini are tender. Add ½ the vinegar, all but a pinch of the remaining spices and S&P; stir well.
Make the salsa verde & serve
To the bowl of herbs, add the remaining vinegar, garlic and spices, 1 tbsp oil (double for 4 portions) and S&P; stir well. Divide the vegetables and steak between your plates. Top the steak with the salsa verde. Bon appétit!
