Chimichurri Sauce Argentinian Chimichurri Marinade Recipes

Steps:

• Wash parsley and remove the larger stems.
• Combine parsley, garlic cloves, shallot, red wine vinegar, anchovy fillets, salt, and pepper in a blender. With blender on high speed, slowly pour in 1/2 cup of olive oil. Scrape down to sides as necessary and add slowly add remaining olive oil, with the processor running, until a thick paste forms.

Steps:

• Place the parsley, olive oil, red wine vinegar, oregano, cumin, salt, garlic and hot pepper sauce into the container of a blender or food processor. Blend for about 10 seconds on medium speed, or until ingredients are evenly blended.

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.

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.
