A Chimichurri is an Argentinian sauce typically used with grilled meats. It is a blend of herbs, garlic, olive oil, spices, vinegar and lemon juice. This very tangy and flavorful sauce can be used as both a sauce and a marinade. Chimichurri sauce will keep for up to 3 days when refrigerated in a well sealed container.
Here is a classic Chimichurri sauce recipe. Try this with some grilled flank steak or skirt steak.
1/4 cup olive oil
2/3 cup sherry vinegar
3/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
3 tablespoons fresh oregano, chopped
3 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
6 large cloves garlic, chopped
Salt & freshly ground pepper
Simply combine all of the ingredients. If using as a marinade and a sauce, reserve about 1/3 of the Chimichurri for the sauce and use the remainder for the marinade.
