Occasionally we like to add some zing to the steak, though, and tonight we made a Chimichurri Sauce. Chimichurri is a green sauce for grilled meats that originated in Argentina. We picked a cup of fresh Italian parsley from the garden and 1/4 cup of fresh oregano leaves from the patio. I also chopped up a medium white onion.

About to mix it all up |
We put the top on the processor and chop it all up. It's as easy as that! Using a spoon/spatula we put it all in a serving bowl and bring it to the table after tasting it. It has an "herby," zesty, flavorful pow to it.
Completed Chimichurri Sauce |
I take a serving spoon and place a large dollop of chimichurri on top of my steak.

I find it really enhances the flavor of a good steak. We don't make it all the time, but every once in a while we'll mix up another batch of chimichurri to liven up the taste buds.
