Chimichurri is a sauce that originates in Argentina. Think of it as an Argentinian barbecue sauce made of fresh ingredients. You’ll start looking for things just to serve it on!

Now, I don’t know any dad out there who doesn’t love a good steak. With Father’s Day coming up before too long, you’ll want to tuck this recipe in your pocket and make it for the Dad in your life. Of course, this MOM loves steak too. So…maybe not wait until Father’s Day. I mean, Mother’s Day is next weekend. Hint, hint.

After all…women love juicy, tender, flavorful steaks too. Right, ladies?

So feel free to make this any night of the week. Considering how simple and quick it is to prepare it is perfect for a Monday. Or a Tuesday… or… well, just make it.
