What is Chimichurri Sauce

Chimichurri is an uncooked fresh ingredient green sauce that is used a table condiment for meat. Chimichurri is fresh herbs and spices combined with oil and red wine vinegar. You could also use as a marinade or put over the meat while you are cooking.  This sauce originated from Argentina and there are various variations. 

In this recipe I will show you how to make the more traditional green sauce found in the states. It's not a spicy sauce but is packed with flavor that pairs well with your steak, chicken, veggies, pork, salmon, tuna, shrimp, and salads.

1/2 cup of red wine vinegar
1 Tsp kosher salt
1 shallot 
1/2 cup of fresh cilantro 
1/4 cup of fresh parsley 
2 Tbsp or fresh oregano - If can't find the chopped dried oregano will work.
3/4 cup of extra virgin olive oil
Red pepper flakes - if you want it spicier.
