    Best Chimichurri Recipe

    I love steak for dinner, whether I’m grilling out a Porterhouse, smoking a Tomahawk, or pan-frying a Ribeye. My family gets so excited every time I bring steaks home! One of my favorite things to do is to find new sauces to pair every cut of beef with, and among the best I've tried is my easy chimichurri sauce.

    This simple chimichurri sauce recipe uses a handful of ingredients and is ready in just a couple of minutes. All you have to do is add the ingredients to a bowl and mix. It’s that easy, and it adds so much flavor to every steak you pair it with, without overpowering the beef!

    Chimichurri steak sauce is one of the best flavor pairings with a hearty, juicy steak. It’s zesty, flavorful, and so good. I often want to eat it off the spoon all by itself. Give it a try and let me know what you think in the comments below! I’d love to hear about your steak dinner.

    What is the difference between pesto and chimichurri?

    Pesto is a combination of basil, garlic, hard cheese such as Parmesan, pine nuts, and olive oil, generally processed into a paste-like consistency, while chimichurri sauce does not use cheese or nuts, contains different spices, and has a more sauce-like texture than pesto.

    Gremolata uses lemon zest and is typically served with fish. It contains less ingredients than chimichurri sauce.
