Everything is better with chimichurri sauce

This recipe is a variation of a chimichurri sauce recipe I published a little over a year ago. It is so easy and good I had to republish it with a few tweaks. I have updated the photographs and tweaked the recipe a bit. If chimichurri sauce is not in your current repertoire of sauces, I strongly encourage you to give chimichurri a try. It is fast, delicious, very healthy and it literally makes everything better. We use it on steak, chicken, pork, fish, sausages, potatoes and eggs. I make a big batch and use it all week. It makes everything delicious.

Chimichurri is pesto's Argentinean cousin

Chimichurri is a fresh uncooked herb and oil sauce very similar to pesto. Traditional chimichurri is made with garlic, parsley, oregano, olive oil, fresh or dried chili pepper, red or white vinegar, salt and pepper. Like pesto, there are many variations of chimichurri sauce. You can use a variety of ingredients, including: onion, shallots, cilantro, basil, lemon juice, cumin, coriander, Spanish paprika, bay leaf, tomato and bell pepper.

 

I always use parsley, oregano and olive oil and either lemon juice or vinegar. After that it depends on what is in my fridge.

How to make chimichurri

Chimichurri can be hand chopped, ground in a mortar and pestle or whipped up in a few seconds in a food processor. While I appreciate a hand-chopped or ground chimichurri, I use the food processor. Call me lazy, but I love how a food processor does the heavy lifting.

Steak and potatoes

For this recipe I serve the chimichurri with steak and potatoes. My husband throws the steaks on the grill and I roast the potatoes in a hot oven. While the potatoes are roasting I make the chimichurri. In just a little more than 30 minutes you have a fabulous meal and extra sauce to use for the rest of the week.

Chimichurri, pesto’s Argentinean cousin, adds flavor and nutrition to everything it touches. Here I serve it with grilled steak and roasted potatoes, but chimichurri pairs well with chicken, fish, sausage, vegetables and eggs.

   Pretty Good! I would say a little less lemon juice.
