Chimichurri is a vibrant sauce of parsley and olive oil (with a little kick from red pepper flakes) that's traditionally served on grilled meats in Argentina. In this recipe, flank steak is marinated in the chimichurri, broiled, and then sliced and served on baguette slices with a dollop of the sauce. You can serve this warm or at room temperature.

This Argentinian sauce is served with both grilled meats and fish. Its spice and herbal flavors go well with the smokiness imparted by the grill, and the vinegar’s bite cuts through the richness of steak. This recipe can be prepared in 45 minutes or less.

(Chimichurri Rojo) This vibrant sauce/marinade is a nice variation on the classic Chimichurri Verde. A sort of Argentine Worcestershire, it is slightly more herbaceous.

This recipe is a component of Barbecued Steak Brazilian-Style, with Garlicky Marinade and Dipping Sauce .

This garlicky sauce from Argentina is great spooned over beef or chicken.
