Chimichurri steak sauce
======================= 2024-08-23


Inspired from: Chimichurri (recette traditionnelle)

Chimichurri is a green sauce originating from Argentina ideally suited for red meats. There are a few variations of this sauce, more or less spicy, here I use hot flakes, but other types of (preferably fresh) peppers can also be used. Also use this sauce for fondue Bacchus (fondue Bourguignonne).

Serves 4

Ingredients:
------------  

1 cup (packed) fresh Italian parsley (*)
1/4 cup (packed) fresh cilantro (opt)
