How to Make Chilean Pesto Pebre

  1. Combine 1 cup packed cilantro, 1/2 cup packed parsley, 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion, 2 cloves garlic, 1 jalapeño pepper, seeded and minced (adjust to your spice preference), 2 tablespoons olive oil, 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar, 1 tablespoon lime juice, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a food processor.
  2. Blend until completely smooth, scraping down the sides as needed.
  3. Divide the pebre in half.
  4. For the steak marinade: Place one half of the pebre in a zip-top bag with your favorite steak (about 1-1.5 lbs). Marinate in the refrigerator for 1-12 hours.
  5. For the pasta sauce or dip: Toss the other half of the pebre with 1 pound of hot cooked pasta. Alternatively, serve as a vibrant dip with tortilla chips or vegetables.
