How to Make Chimichurri Sauce for Steak ?


  • Author: Jasmine
  • Total Time: 10 minutes (plus 30 minutes resting time)

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped

  • 1/4 cup fresh oregano, finely chopped

  • 4 garlic cloves, minced

  • 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil

  • 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar

  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice (optional, for extra tang)

  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)

  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional, for depth)

  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste


Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Herbs

Wash and dry the parsley and oregano thoroughly. Finely chop the herbs by hand or pulse them in a food processor for a quicker option.

Step 2: Mince the Garlic

Peel and mince the garlic cloves. For a stronger garlic flavor, use a garlic press.

Step 3: Combine Ingredients

In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped parsley, oregano, and minced garlic. Add the red wine vinegar, lemon juice (if using), red pepper flakes, and smoked paprika.

Step 4: Add Olive Oil

Slowly drizzle in the olive oil while whisking the mixture. This helps emulsify the sauce and create a cohesive texture.

Step 5: Season and Rest

Season the chimichurri sauce with salt and pepper to taste. Let it sit for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
