A hearty steak topped with the refreshing flavors of chiles, cilantro and herbs
Chimichurri sauce is as popular in Argentina as ketchup is in the United States. A vibrant green sauce that’s full of fresh chiles, herbs and onions, it will liven up anything you grill. This steak also tastes good with a salad and works well with a fruit-based dessert.
