What Is Chimichurri Sauce?

Chimichurri is an uncooked sauce for grilled meats, or any type of meat or poultry in my opinion. Chimichurri originated in Argentina and is typically made with parsley, garlic, olive oil and vinegar.

Obviously you can play with those ingredients like we did here by swapping out the parsley for kale and adding spice with crushed red pepper flakes.

How Do You Make Chimichurri Sauce?

You can chop everything up by hand like we did, or add it all the a food processor to make it really easy.

There’s no need to refrigerate chimichurri unless you’re making it the day before, then you can cover it and keep it in your fridge but remember to take it out an hour or so before you need it to let it come to room temperature.

What Type Of Meat Should I Grill?

We have a London Broil here, but you can use flank steak or really any type of steak you like to make this recipe. Grill the steak to your liking then remove it from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.

I chose a London Broil for this recipe but really any cut of steak will work for this. When the steak is done, remove it to a cutting board and cover with foil.

Then walk away.

Give it 15 minutes to rest or all the juices will come out as soon as you cut it and it won’t look like this…

I poured the spicy chimichurri sauce all over the steak first and then sliced it. Then I poured on some more.

Worried about the spiciness for the kids? Don’t be. This is seriously the best recipe to try out any type of spice level on your kids. The freshness of the kale, parsley and garlic tone down the heat so you hardly know it’s there.

How did we describe dinner to our 8 year old? Salad sauce on a steak. He thought that was pretty hilarious and interesting enough to eat.

So he did and he loved it, and now he asks for Grilled Steak with Spicy Kale Chimichurri sauce every now and then when I’m grilling…you know, the salad sauce on the steak.

Family dinners are even better when the kids eat all their dinner too, right? I mean it’s east to get a win if you’re putting spaghetti and meatballs on the table but when you win a dinner like this it feels pretty awesome.
