Chimichurri Sauce

This simple but scrumptious sauce originally comes from Argentina, where the barbecue culture is a point of national pride. It's a widespread tradition to mark all kinds of occasions with an asado, or a gathering featuring massive amounts of meat slow-cooked on a big grill called a parrilla. These asados are a celebration of both great people and great food (hey, those are two of our favorite things!), and you'll pretty much always find chimichurri there. This sauce isn't an exact science, so it's up to you whether you want to follow our recipe to the letter to see how we like it, or if you'd rather customize it with more or less of some ingredients. Also, we intentionally left out any specific recommendation for the red chili pepper so you can make it your own. Even though this sauce is made with versatile ingredients and is crazy delicious on almost any kind of meat, Argentine beef is legendary, so that's what you're most likely to find served up with chimichurri. When you've got a specific hankering for rib-eye, you can hop back to the menu to find the recipes for rib-eye and chimichurri together.
