Chimichurri is a tangy garlic and parsley sauce that accompanies grilled beef at Argentine steakhouses. It often contains a touch of oregano, too, but I like to give the sauce a little twist by using rosemary instead.

more about:

1/4 cup grapeseed or canola oil
1 tsp. chopped fresh rosemary
3 Tbs. white-wine vinegar
1 Tbs. minced garlic, mashed to a paste
1/2 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Heat the oil and rosemary in a small saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until the rosemary is aromatic, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool to room temperature, about 15 minutes. In a medium bowl, whisk the vinegar and garlic. Whisk in the rosemary oil and 1/4 cup water. Then stir in the parsley, 3/4 tsp. salt, and 1/2 tsp. black pepper (don't worry if the emulsion separates). Season to taste with more salt and pepper.

by duckyfufu, 9/8/2008Really great sauce, especially good on the grilled beef roast. This chimichurri tasted better to me than others I've had previously, it had a nice balance of sharp flavors to make it very memorable.
