Argentine Chimichurri Sauce

This condiment is a great addition to grilled meats

By Chef Howard Karp

There are many chimichurri recipes you can refer to, but I must say this is the tastiest one I have found. This condiment is a great addition to grilled meats and egg dishes that may need a bit of perking up, and it also makes a great marinade. The sauce can be made up to a week in advance.

Ingredients:

  • 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
  • 1/4 cup minced red onion
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 1/4 veal jus
  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 4 Tbsp. minced fresh cilantro
  • 3 Tbsp. minced fresh parsley
  • 1 1/2 tsp. dried oregano
  • 1 1/2 tsp. dried pepper flakes
  • 2 tsp. sugar
  • 1 tsp. coarse black pepper
  • Salt, to taste

To prepare the chimichurri:

Combine the vinegar, red onion and garlic in a mixing bowl. Whisk in the veal stock and olive oil. Season with all other ingredients and mix thoroughly. Use as a marinade, topping or sauce on a dish of your choosing.
