Chimichurri is a traditional Argentine sauce, primarily used as a marinade or accompaniment to grilled meats. The exact origins of chimichurri are somewhat debated, but it is widely recognized as an essential part of Argentine and Uruguayan cuisine. The sauce is known for its vibrant green color and sharp, tangy flavor, which comes from a combination of chopped parsley, garlic, vinegar, oil, and various spices.

Regardless of its origin, chimichurri has become a staple condiment in many parts of the world, appreciated for its ability to enhance the flavors of meat, poultry, fish, and vegetables. Its simple, fresh, and aromatic qualities make it a favorite among those who enjoy adding herbal zest to their dishes.

Tips:

  • Let your steaks sit at room temperature for about 20 minutes before grilling to ensure even cooking.
  • Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes in the chimichurri according to your preferred spice level.

Recipe Variations:

  • Feel free to substitute basil or mint for cilantro if you prefer a different herb profile.
  • Add a squeeze of lemon for an extra tang in your chimichurri.

Recipe Variations
Herb Substitutes: Feel free to substitute basil or mint for cilantro if you prefer a different herb profile.
Additional Flavors: Add a squeeze of lemon for an extra tang in your chimichurri.
For Grain-Finished Steaks:
When pan searing, grilling, or any other direct heat method; increase the cook time by 1-2 minutes depending on your desired temperature. The grain finished beef has more intramuscular fat in it, which insulates the meat from the heat. Therefore you need to cook the grain finished ribeyes slightly longer than the grass fed equivalent.
