Chimichurri Steak

Authentic chimichurri sauce, a popular Argentinean dressing is full of fresh herbs providing the most delicious flavor to any grilled foods. We’ve added the sauce to several beef cuts as well as grilled portobello mushrooms and other vegetables like zucchini! The sauce is so delicious with everything it’s paired with!

This recipe is super handy to put to use if you happen to forget to marinade your meat. No worries, just add chimichurri sauce!

Chimichurri sauce just takes a couple of minutes to blend up, and here we use it as a salad dressing. I’ve served this a couple of different ways.

One is to put the sauce directly on the meat and when you cut your steak you’ll spear steak, salad, and then dip in sauce, and the other way is to emulsify the ingredients longer making a thinner dressing, and then toss your greens with chimichurri dressing before adding the meat!

We ate this salad simply and only added cherry tomatoes to our baby greens. No competing flavors, just the perfect punch of flavor from the dressing.
