Chimichurri
Some of the best beef comes from Argentina and with it comes one of my favorite steak accompaniment.
This thick parsley-olive oil paste is as commonly eaten in Argentina as ketchup is in the rest of our world. There are several variations and I guess every chef in Argentina has his own special twist to it, however it always features Italian flat parsley, virgin olive oil, vinegar and garlic.
Enjoy this delicious chimichurri recipe!
