What Makes This Chimichurri Steak So Irresistible?

Preparing Chimichurri Sauce in Minutes

You don’t need a mortar and pestle or lengthy prep for authentic-tasting chimichurri. Toss your parsley, cilantro, garlic, and red pepper flakes into a quality blender like the Ninja BL610 Professional 72 Oz Countertop Blender, Black or a personal-sized Ninja Fit Compact Personal Blender, 700-Watt Base, Black QB3001SS. Drizzle in olive oil and red wine vinegar; a quick blitz and your sauce is ready. For beautifully chopped shallots or onions, reach for the Mueller Pro-Series 10-in-1, 8 Blade Vegetable Chopper to save time and tears.
