Chimichurri Sauce Argentine Recipes

Steps:

• Stir olive oil and lemon juice together with garlic, shallot, parsley, basil, thyme, and oregano; season to taste with salt and pepper. Allow to stand for 2 hours at room temperature before serving; store remaining chimichurri in refrigerator.

Steps:

• Toss onion, tomato, garlic, parsley, oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper together until evenly combined. Add olive oil, red wine vinegar, and water; stir well to combine. Refrigerate until flavors are blended, 8 hours to 3 days.

Steps:

• For chimichurri sauce:
• Whisk all ingredients and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt in medium bowl. Let stand at room temperature 2 hours.
• For beef:
• Whisk all ingredients except beef in large bowl; whisk in 1 tablespoon salt. Add beef; toss to coat. Cover and chill 1 hour, turning occasionally.
• Prepare barbecue (high heat). Thread beef with some marinade still clinging onto 8 skewers. Grill skewers until beef is charred on all sides and cooked to desired doneness, about 5 minutes for medium-rare.
• Place 1 skewer on each plate. Pass chimichurri sauce alongside.

Steps:

• Pulse the garlic and onion in the food processor until finely chopped.
• Add the parsley and/or cilantro, and oregano if using, and pulse briefly, until finely chopped.
• Transfer the mixture to a separate bowl. Add the olive oil, lime juice, and vinegar, and stir. (Adding the liquids outside of the blender gives the chimichurri the correct texture. You don't want the herbs to be completely puréed, just finely chopped).
• Season with salt and red pepper flakes to taste.
• Store in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

Steps:

• Stir together all ingredients for beef with 1 1/2 teaspoons each of salt and pepper. Marinate, covered and chilled, 4 hours.
• Meanwhile, stir together all chimichurri ingredients with 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and let stand at least 2 hours.
• Prepare a grill for direct-heat cooking over medium-hot charcoal (medium-high heat for gas); see grilling procedure. Remove beef from marinade and rub off excess (discard marinade).
• Skewer beef, leaving about 1/2 inch between pieces. Oil grill rack, then grill (covered if using a gas grill), turning occasionally, 4 to 5 minutes for medium-rare. Serve beef with chimichurri sauce.
