Steak With Chimichurri Sauce

Chimichurri recipe & content provided by Jordan Pie

My first chimichurri sauce was a real revelation and a fluke. I made it originally to go with some pan-fried fish and discovered it was the type of herb sauce that went with anything from roasted chicken to guacamole to seafood to salads to eggs to, of course, a good piece of grass-fed steak. Chimichurri is a perfect addition to your meal if you’re looking to add a delicious flavor bomb of fragrant herbs and zesty citrus. You can double or even triple the quantities of this chimichurri sauce recipe and store it in a glass jar in the fridge. Then, simply dollop it on top of whatever savory meal you like.

Chimichurri Sauce (makes 1/2 cup)
