My daughter brought this recipe back from her honeymoon in Argentina. It is very simple….the longest part is just marinating. (8 hours). This is not included in prep time as it is inactive prep time. Any leftovers are great on a sandwich or on a salad!
This recipe is from Canadian Living’s Get Grilling: Summer 2007. It’s a wonderful sauce and marinade that’s also called chimichurri rojo. To marinate 1 lb of lamb chops, boneless pork chops, steak or chicken legs you’ll need 1/3 cup of sauce. Marinade the meat for 4 to 24 hours before grilling.
This is a marinade for the churrasco dish. In Argentina, where this style of cooking developed, “churrasco” actually refers to many types of meats prepared on the grill. It’s also popular with Nicaraguans. The churrasco cut steak is a long flat cut of skirt steak, cut from the “plate” of the cow. You might find it sold at some butcher shops as a “plate” steak. Don’t confuse it with the flank steak, a similar cut, but NOT the same! The churrasco steak is typically marinated to make it tender and full of flavour. Serve topped with Recipe #456210. I did not include marinating time. Enjoy!
