We’re grilling juicy, flavorful steak this summer and we are pairing it with a bright and fresh Chimichurri vinaigrette!
If you follow my grilling instructions below, I promise you will always end up with the most juicy, perfectly grilled steak (to your liking whether it is rare or medium-well).
My favorite thing about this dish is that you can serve it in so many different ways! You can add the steak to a bed of arugula and dress with the Chimichurri. You can throw in some tortillas and make steak tacos drizzled with the vinaigrette. Or you can serve the steak and Chimichurri with a baked potato and call it dinner!
Chimichurri is this bright, herby dressing that comes from South America. I could put this on everything and I could also eat it by the spoonful. It’s just a few fresh ingredients to bring us a versatile, flavorful sauce!
You can also use this dressing for chicken or fish! It truly is so versatile!
