Chimichurri Sauce Recipe
Fresh, herby and garlicky — this chimichurri sauce is the perfect accompaniment to a grilled steak, chicken, pork tenderloin or even over a baked potato!
This sauce is DRINKABLE!
If you’re unfamiliar with chimichurri sauce, it is a delicious and easy to make herb sauce made from flat leaf parsley, garlic, red wine vinegar and just a handful of other ingredients. You’ll throw everything into a food processor or blender to combine until smooth, then use as a topping or dipping sauce for any meat or veggie.
Here’s what you’ll need for this version of chimichurri sauce:
- Flat leaf parsley
- Fresh Cilantro
- Dried oregano
- Shallot
- Garlic
- Red Wine Vinegar
- Lemon juice
- Kosher salt
- Red pepper flakes
- Extra virgin Olive Oil
We served our chimichurri sauce over two grass fed New York strip steaks cooked on the Big Green Egg.
Here’s exactly how we cooked our New York strip steaks:
- Heat grill to 400º
- Rub steaks with a little oil then lots of all purpose steak seasoning (we used The Ball Foods rub)
- Grill steaks for 6 minutes per side.
- Remove from heat and let rest for 10 minutes.
- Slice and drizzle sauce over top to serve!
