Grilled Chimichurri Steak with Green Beans and Tomatoes
Summer brings about thoughts of sunshine, warm days laying by a pool, the smell of fresh cut grass, long days, and of course BBQs with friends and family. I love steak and I love steak with sauces even more. That makes Chimichurri Steak one of my favorite dishes.
What is Chimichurri Sauce?
One of my favorites is a chimichurri sauce. Chimichurri sauce is an uncooked sauce that can be used as both a marinade and topping for grilled meats. It is common in several South American countries but traditionally from Argentina. While the herbs can vary some, the base of a chimichurri sauce is olive oil, vinegar, parsley, garlic and with herbs. While I love to eat chimichurri with steak, it is also great with sausages, poultry and some fish.
This chimichurri sauce is super quick to make (especially with the Chef’n VeggiChop
