I made this last night and went to bed happy! This is delicious! I grilled my steaks instead of cooking inside. I had a skeptic at the table about the chimichurri sauce, and he asked me to just fix some garlic butter for him. After seeing my reaction he changed his mind and helped himself to "my" chimichurri. Delicious! Made for Susie's World Tour 2018. Thanks for sharing a recipe I will definitely repeat often. -

Can I give this ten stars? After the first bite, DH said "There's a flavor explosion in my mouth...". And after a few more bites, said "It's a flavor explosion!". I guess he liked it. We both agree it's the best chimichurri we've had! I was a bit skeptical due to the amount of balsamic and because its a hot chimichurri. But the method really works and I wouldn't change a thing. We used a high quality ribeye for this, thinly sliced. Simply fantastic. Thanks for posting a keeper of a recipe! Made for SWT 2018, Team Incredibles. -
Fantastic steak and chimichurri sauce. Loved that the chimichurri is made with cilantro vs. parsley - it was nice and tart and delicious. Served this steak with some roasted new potatoes and a salad with baby greens and feta cheese. One of the best meals I have had in a long time. Made for Quest, South America, 2014. -
This made a really tasty steak. I added some lemon juice to the chimichurri to add some freshness and we really liked it like that. Thank you! Made for Susie’s Tour 2018 -
