Ingredients

Units Scale

Chimichurri Sauce Ingredients

  • 1 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes, or more to taste
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Serving Suggestion

  • Churrasco (Skirt Steak)

Instructions

  1. Add Ingredients to Food Processor: Combine the fresh flat-leaf parsley, olive oil, garlic cloves, red wine vinegar, fresh lime juice, dried oregano, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper into a food processor.
  2. Pulse to Desired Texture: Pulse the mixture 2-3 times initially, then check the consistency. The sauce should be rather chunky with some texture, not too liquidy. If needed, pulse 1-2 more times to achieve the perfect consistency.
  3. Taste and Adjust Seasonings: Sample the chimichurri and adjust salt, pepper, or red pepper flakes according to your preference to balance the flavors.
  4. Serve: Serve the chimichurri sauce alongside churrasco skirt steak, or use as a flavorful accompaniment for chicken or shrimp. Enjoy your vibrant and fresh sauce!

Notes

  • Chimichurri is traditionally chunky, so avoid overprocessing to keep texture.
  • Adjust red pepper flakes for desired heat level.
  • Fresh parsley is critical for authentic flavor; avoid substituting with cilantro.
  • Chimichurri can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, but fresh is best.
  • Use a sharp knife or clean food processor blades for best herb processing.
