Chimichurri sauce for steak
Chimichurri is a favourite dressing for steaks in South America. Make an Argentinian version with parsley, or a Columbian version with parsley and coriander. Serve with spuds of your choice and salad.
Ingredients
- large bunch parsley, or a mix of parsley and coriander
- 2 large garlic cloves (add an extra one if you love garlic!)
- 1 tsp dried oregano, or 1 tbsp freshly picked leaves
- red wine vinegar
- 1 lemon
- pinch chilli flakes
- olive oil
- salt and pepper

Step 1
Finely chop the parsley, and the coriander, if using. Peel and finely chop, grate or crush the garlic. Mix the herbs and garlic in a bowl, with the oregano, 1 tablespoon of red wine vinegar, juice from ¼ of the lemon and some salt and pepper to season. Add a good glug or two of olive oil, enough to make a dressing. Taste and add more vinegar, lemon juice or seasoning as needed. The sauce should be quite sharp and punchy.
