Chimichurri Sauce Recipe

Chimichurri Sauce is a famous Argentine sauce made from cilantro and parsley. One bite, and everyone loves my Chimichurri Sauce Recipe.

I’m not sure what I like better, the bold flavors of this sauce or the bright green color. Chimichurri sauce originated in Argentina. It is a raw plant-based sauce that is used mainly with steak or pork. It has a bold garlic punch with a background of the fresh herbs and a tang from red wine vinegar. We are crazy over my Chimichurri Sauce Recipe.

If you have a food processor, this sauce is amazingly easy to make and it ready in minutes. You simply put the ingredients into the food processor and pulse until everything is mixed. We usually use this in the traditional method by putting it on flank steak, but I’m going to use it next time we have roasted or grilled vegetables and even shrimp. It’s such a versatile sauce…and that color – it’s my favorite.

If you like this sauce, you’ll love Roasted Tomatillo Sauce.
