How to Make Argentine Red Sauce And Marinade

  1. Combine all ingredients in a medium bowl and whisk vigorously until thoroughly combined.
  2. For best results, let the marinade rest for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  3. Generously coat your 1 lb of lamb chops, boneless pork chops, steak, or chicken legs with the chimichurri rojo.
  4. Marinate the meat in the refrigerator for 4 to 24 hours. The longer it marinates, the more flavorful it will become!
  5. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Grill the marinated meat for approximately 5 minutes per side, or until cooked to your desired doneness.
  6. Store leftover marinade in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
