What is Chimichurri Sauce
Chimichurri Sauce is a vibrant and flavorful Argentine condiment traditionally made with fresh parsley, garlic, olive oil, vinegar and red pepper. It is typically used as a sauce for grilled meats, especially steak, but can also be used as a marinade or dressing.
The fresh and vibrant sauce is known for its bright green color and zesty, herbaceous taste, which adds a fresh and tangy element to various dishes. Variations of a traditional chimichurri sauce may include additional ingredients like cilantro, or fresh lemon juice.
How to Prepare Chimichurri Sauce
Easily, combine all of the ingredients for the chimichurri sauce in a bowl. Here are a few tips:
- Use Fresh Herbs: Always use fresh parsley (and cilantro, if you prefer) for the best flavor. Fresh herbs give chimichurri its vibrant green color and robust taste.
- Chopping: Ensure the parsley leaves are finely chopped and the garlic is finely minced.
- Let it Rest: After preparing the chimichurri sauce, let it sit for at least 15-30 minutes before serving. This resting time allows the flavors to meld together and intensify, resulting in a more flavorful sauce.
How to Prepare a Grilled Steak Board
This recipe provides clear instructions and tips that will help you grill a steak to perfection, ensuring it’s juicy, flavorful and cooked to your desired level of doneness, every single time.
- Remove the steaks from the fridge about an hour before grilling. Coat them in olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
- Cut the zucchini into 1-inch rounds, the yellow squash into spears, and the bell peppers into 1 1/2 to 2-inch strips.
- Add the vegetables to a bowl and toss with olive oil, salt and pepper.
- Heat the grill to medium-high. Grill the vegetables first, until they are slightly tender with a bit of crunch. Reserve the vegetables on the top rack of the grill while you grill the steaks.
- Turn up the heat to medium-high. Get a nice sear on both sides of the steaks. Move the steaks off the direct heat, place the lid on the grill, and finish to your desired temperature (about 3-4 minutes for medium-rare).
- Remove the steaks onto a platter and allow the to rest, tented with foil, for a few minutes.
- Scatter the grilled vegetables on the board.
- Slice the steak and place it on the board.
- Spoon the chimichurri sauce onto the steaks.
Internal Temperature of Steak
It’s important to use a meat thermometer to accurately gauge the internal temperature of the steak for desired doneness. Here are the temperatures typically used to determine the doneness of steak:
- Rare: 120-130°F (49-54°C)
- Medium Rare: 130-135°F (54-57°C)
- Medium: 135-145°F (57-63°C)
- Medium Well: 145-155°F (63-68°C)
- Well Done: 160°F and above (71°C and above)
How to Serve and Store a Grilled Steak Board with Chimichurri Sauce
- Serve the Grilled Steak Board with crusty bread or garlic bread to soak up the chimichurri sauce.
- Accompany with a simple green salad and/or roasted potatoes.
