Chimichurri Sauce A La Uruguaya South America Food

AUTHENTIC CHIMICHURRI (URUGUAY & ARGENTINA)

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients together in a bowl. Allow to sit for 5-10 minutes to release all of the flavours into the oil before using. Ideally, let it sit for more than 2 hours, if time allows.
• Chimichurri can be prepared earlier than needed, and refrigerated for 24 hours, if needed.
• Use to baste meats (chicken or steaks) while grilling or barbecuing. We don't use it as a marinade, but choose to baste our meats with chimichurri instead. However, you can use it as a marinade if you wish. Also, add a couple of tablespoons over your steak to serve.
