chimichurri
Parsley-garlic steak sauce
Chimichurri is a vibrant green sauce from Argentina and Uruguay, made with parsley, garlic, vinegar, oil, and oregano.
It's the traditional accompaniment to grilled meats, especially steak: The asado came with a bowl of chimichurri on the side.
Unlike most sauces, it's uncooked—fresh and sharp rather than rich.
