Anna's Family Kitchen was inspired by my love of food and desire to feed my family healthy, home cooked wholesome meals that are beautifully presented and appealing but don’t require hours of prep in the kitchen.
Bavette Steak Aji Verde Sauce
My go to sauces for accompanying steaks used to be Salsa Verde, Peppercorn or Chimichuri until I discovered Peruvian Aji Verde! Ever since I first shared a Bavette steak recipe, I’ve had so many people comment on how this cut of beef is a game changer. I love the flavour as much as fillet yet it’s a third of the price which means you can really go to town on the quantities!
Aji Verde will also work with chicken and fish.
