Chimichurri steak is a prime example of one of my favorite flavor combinations. While I love rich beef-and-sauce recipes like beef tenderloin in mushroom sauce<\/a> or chicken-fried steak and gravy<\/a>, the pairing of steak with chimichurri sauce is a fresh one.\u00a0Chimichurri and steak balance each other. The bright chimichurri sauce lightens up the steak, and the steak juices infuse the herbaceous sauce with smoky, savory flavors. It’s a perfect match!<\/p>\n

What is chimichurri sauce?<\/h2>\n

Chimichurri sauce<\/a> is an Argentinian sauce made with fresh herbs, garlic, vinegar, oil and spices. It tastes complex, with richness from the olive oil, bright acidity from the vinegar, pungency from the garlic and a little heat from the spicy peppers. We add lime juice and zest to our recipe to give it a zingy, citrusy punch.<\/p>\n

We make our easy chimichurri sauce in a food processor, which combines the fresh herbs with the other tangy, spicy ingredients in mere minutes. Whip it up while the grilled steak is resting, or make it ahead of time to let the flavors meld as the sauce sits in the refrigerator.<\/p>\n
