This recipe is from epicurious. I’ve wanted to make chimichurri for quite some time and finally decided to give it a try when Art suggested grilling up some flank steaks. The sauce was delicious on the steaks! Tons of flavor from the red wine vinegar, parsley and garlic. I would make this again in a heartbeat.
