Chimichurri

Recipe #21151 | 30 min | 30 min prep | SERVES 6 (Change Servings)

RECIPE BY: chef blade

This TOO easy sauce, of Argentine origin, makes your steak taste like it was just dragged through the garden! Great on rare, chargrilled, flank steak.

    ok - I first ate Chimichurri in Barrio Yapeyu of Santa Fe de la Vera Cruz - North of Rosario in Argentina. I ate it on steak, hard crust bread, my finger, etc... Anyway - You're at a fish market and they've got a special on something you normally wouldn't buy - not high tide fish - but if you cook the low tide fare with this recipe - and add a 1/2 teaspoon of red pizza peppers, and and extra 2 tablespoons of salt - you'll never splurge on high tide/high price fish again! Mix it up and let it season overnight in the fridge. Damn! My mouth's watering already!

    I first looked at this because of the name! It's a great marinade/sauce, with lovely fresh herby, garlicy zingy flavours. We had it on T.bone steaks, but I also put it on a chicken breast fillet for our non red meat eater. Fantastic Chef Blade! Couldn't stop "taste-testing" it.
