chimichurri sauce is your new back-pocket recipe!
Gorgeous chimichurri sauce is ready in less than five minutes!
Ugh. Summer really is over.
It’s been cool and gray here in New York, and there’s no denying that fall has officially arrived. But I had to include this delicious dressing to close out my “saucy” series.
Chimichurri is an Argentine herb sauce that highlights the flavors of lots of fresh parsley and garlic. A few whirls in the food processor and you are done! I’m a big fan of this particular dish, which pairs the sauce with thinly sliced flank steak, fresh mozzarella balls and leafy greens.
And because parsley is available year round, you can enjoy this dish any time.
Even while (sniffle) wearing a sweater.
Grilled Flank Steak Salad with Chimichurri Sauce
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 bunch fresh Italian parsley
- 2 tablespoons fresh oregano leaves
- 3 garlic cloves

- 1 pound flank steak, generously seasoned with salt and pepper
- mixed baby greens
- 12 ounces fresh mozzarella balls, sliced in half
Instructions
- Combine the parsley (with stems), oregano, and garlic in processor; blend 10 seconds. Add the oil, vinegar, and hot pepper sauce (if using) and blend until almost smooth. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
