Chimichurri Sauce

Eric Vasquez

Report

Chimichurri Sauce is a popular salsa in Argentina, Uruguay, and Nicaragua, and it couldn't be easier to make. Fresh and herbaceous, this summertime sauce makes steaks, sides, and veggies pop with flavor.

Instructions

In a food processor or blender, add parsley, cilantro, oregano, garlic, vinegar, cumin, and pepper flakes. Pulse until finely chopped, about 3 to 5 times.
Scrape down sides. With the motor running, slowly drizzle in oil until a thick sauce forms, about 20 to 30 seconds. Season to taste with salt and pepper (I like 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper).

Notes

White vinegar: I like to keep things simple with regular white vinegar, but red or white wine vinegar both taste great here, too.
Yield: This recipe makes about 1 cup chimichurri sauce.
Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Freezer: Pour any extra chimichurri sauce into ice tray and freeze as cubes, then transfer cubes to a freezer-safe container and freeze for up to 3 months.
