Notes

Chimichurri sauce is on lamb and steaks.
It's quick and easy to make this sauce in a food processor, but you can easily finely chop everything by hand if you prefer.
Make sure your herbs are super fresh for the best flavor.
Use extra virgin olive oil rather than regular or light for this recipe.
