Equipment

  • 1 Knife
  • 1 Cutting Board
  • 1 Blender
  • Measuring Cups
  • Measuring Spoons
  • Blender

Ingredients
  

  • 2 bunches of fresh parsley (finely chopped)
  • ¼ cup Cilantro (finely chopped)
  • 3 cloves of Garlic (chopped)
  • ¼ cup of Red Onion (chopped)
  • 1 cup Olive Oil
  • 2 tbsp Red Wine Vinegar
  • ½ tsp Mexican Oregano
  • A dash of red pepper flakes
  • Himalayan Salt to taste
  • Lemon Juice to taste

Instructions
 

Prepare the herbs: Begin by finely chopping the parsley and cilantro leaves. The freshness of these herbs is key to achieving the vibrant flavor of Chimichurri.

    Mix the ingredients: In a medium-sized bowl, combine the chopped herbs, minced garlic, and finely chopped red onion.

      Add the olive oil: Slowly drizzle the extra-virgin olive oil into the herb mixture while stirring continuously. This step helps emulsify the sauce and creates a luscious texture. Keep stirring until the sauce has a uniform consistency.

        Add the rest of the ingredients: Red wine vinegar, dried oregano, and red pepper flakes. Stir everything together until well combined.

          Season to taste: Season the Chimichurri sauce with salt and pepper according to your preference. Remember to taste as you go and adjust the seasoning as needed.

            Blend it: Once the sauce is all mixed together add it to a blender. Blend it for about a minute. You want the chopped ingredients to be finely chopped.

              Let it rest: Once the sauce is ready, cover the bowl and let it sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes. Allowing the flavors to meld together will enhance the overall taste of the Chimichurri.

                Serve with steak: While the Chimichurri sauce rests, prepare your favorite cut of steak. Grill or sear the steak to your desired level of doneness. Once the steak is cooked, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it against the grain.

                  Drizzle and devour: Place the steak slices on a serving platter and generously drizzle the Chimichurri sauce over them. The vibrant green sauce beautifully contrasts with the rich brown hues of the steak, creating an irresistible visual appeal.
