South American Chimichurri Sauce and Steak

AuthorS. AfreenDifficultyBeginner

chimichurri sauce is a fantasy come true for herb lovers. Lots of new flat-leaf parsley, with some fresh garlic, a little red wine vinegar, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and olive oil — this is essentially a pesto of parsley! This is the best silky condiment to spill over the steak, chicken, or fish. So simple to make and nice to try!

Serve a juicy grilled steak with a refreshing sauce from South America. Chimichurri promises a beautiful flavor, no matter how you prefer your steaks.
