This is THE most AWESOME grill marinade I’ve ever tasted in my life! I don’t know where my Mom got this, but there is no match that I’ve ever known of…it is simplicity and freshness, yet rich, robust and succulent! I haven’t told you this one yet, because I was entering it in a grilling contest for a Weber grill, but I can’t hold back any longer! It is wonderful for chicken breasts and also for lamb. My Mom used to make chicken and lamb kabobs with this marinade and we always wanted more!!! NOTE: Prep time does not include the 24-48 hours marinating time. UPDATE: My grill has died….So in desperation to taste this chicken again, I tried Bobo3039’s suggestion about baking it in a 350 degree oven…Results were wonderful!!! (Still missed that charcoal essence, but one must “roll with the punches” and make do…In this case, Bobo3039 was right on the money!)
Make and share this Argentine Marinade recipe from Food.com.
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!
I found this recipe on www.jamaicans.com. We tried this and WOW was it awesome. I did not have allspice berries so I substituted ground allspice using one full tablespoon.
