Chimichurri Grilling Marinade
"This flavorful marinade is easy to make and adds lots of flavor and tenderness. I use it to marinade skirt steak. It would work equally well on flank steak or flat iron steaks. This amount of marinade works for up to 2 lbs of meat. YUM!!"

Having filled the freezer with some great beef has made for wonderful steaks needing to put on the grill. Used this on flank steak which came off the grill very tender with a a lovely garlicky flavor. And I too think this would work well with chicken.Thank you for sharing. -
This is an excellent marinade. I used it on a flank steak and let me tell you it was the most flavorful and tender flank steak we have ever had!!! Great recipe, Love to Eat. This is a keeper!!!! -
Made this with skirt steaks and they turned out tasty. Easy prep. I am thinking chicken would work well with this. Thanks for posting.

Born and raised in Florida I can always remember being in the kitchen or out near the grill when Mom and Dad were cooking, kinda like a hungry dog waiting for a scrap, LOL.
So anyways, I have always loved to cook, even when I was in the military I had hotplates and electric skillets in my dorm room, no chow hall for me thanks!!! Funny how many "friends" show up when they smelled home cooking!!
I enjoy cooking shows and get a lot of my ideas there. Also since I have discovered ZAAR I have gotten a lot of inspiration here.
