Chimichurri

Perfect spicy and herby salsa for steak and salad – from Argentina and Uruguay.

No quantities here – take whatever you want, chop it up and stir it up. Mostly in olive oil but a decent amount of red wine vinegar and some lemon or lime juice too.

  • Chopped fresh parsley
  • Chopped fresh coriander
  • Chopped or dried oregano (dried works perfectly fine for this)
  • Chopped red onion or shallot
  • Chopped fresh garlic
  • Chopped fresh rosemary (dried works fine too – I mix both fresh and dried)
  • Chopped red chillies (or chilli flakes if you’re desperate, but fresh is better)
  • Red wine vinegar
  • Olive oil
  • Lemon or lime juice
  • Salt & pepper
  • Any other herbs you fancy – basil & thyme works well too.

Eat immediately, or if refrigerated, let it come back to room temperature before using.

Brilliant on a nice juicy steak.
