Reviews
The butcher sold me on flatiron steak and he was 100% right. My whole family loved the Chimichurri sauce. Jalapenos would work better and are easier to find. I doubled the recipe and now we have some sauce leftover. It would be good on chicken or even fried eggs at breakfast!
I’ve been making this for years and it never disappoints. I actually can’t even eat any other chimichurri after making this sauce. Just have to remember to plan ahead so that everything can marinate overnight! Big thumbs up.
This was absolutely delicious! It was my first time making steak with chimichurri and it was excellent. We used a flank steak instead of skirt and it worked well. We made this for a big family dinner and everybody loved it and there was nothing left!
Great recipe, didn’t have pasilla peppers so I used a fresh jalapeno instead and it worked just fine. I would suggest doubling the recipe for chimichurri and saving some to use as a sandwich spread the next day.
A GREAT marinade for beef, and coupled with skirt steak, it’s a staple on my grill. You can’t beat it.
Very good. Used a Blade Steak which came out very tender and the Chimichurri sauce was very tasty. Next time think I would cut back slightly on the garlic and oregano and use a skirt steak or tri-tip. Would be great served over a rice.
Perfect blend of flavors. Steak was tender and flavorful. The chimichuri was absolutely delicious. We added homemade guacamole to top it all off.
This steak was wonderful. The 2nd time I made it, I completely forgot to serve the chimichurri (ugh, all that work and money for the herbs!) and it was still delicious. Be sure to get a true skirt steak. It will look pretty fatty/marbled but trust me, that’s what makes it so good. Get the right kind of steak and DON’T overcook it. Serve it medium rare and not past medium. This got rave reviews.
You MUST make Guy’s Tequila Lime Tart with this. It is very easy and absolutely delicious. I got rave reviews for that each time I made it. The Chorizo, Spinach and Chick Pea Saute is also very good, but having sausage in a side dish was a little overkill with a steak dinner. The side dish makes a great lunch dish or even dinner, all on it’s own.

Hands down the best chimichurri sauce I’ve ever had. We also use it on chicken.
Fixed this for 22nd Anniversary candle light dinner. My husband said he was my slave forever.
