Argentine Red Sauce and Marinade

Submitted by Dreamer in Ontario

"This recipe is from Canadian Living's Get Grilling: Summer 2007. It's a wonderful sauce and marinade that's also called chimichurri rojo. To marinate 1 lb of lamb chops, boneless pork chops, steak or chicken legs you'll need 1/3 cup of sauce. Marinade the meat for 4 to 24 hours before grilling."

Really good! I made the marinade a day in advance. And then I left some tofu to marinade in it for another day. It was really good! I boiled up the remaining marinade and drizzeld it over top. I guess I didn't need to boil the sauce up since I was only marinading tofu. Very tasty and quick to put together. Thanks Dreamer! made during ZWT7.

Oh My! Oh My! This marinade is so good! I was out of red wine vinegar (go figure!) so I used half balsamic and half sherry (not vinegar) - the result was unbelievably fabulous! The ribeyes were so tasty! I served this with recipe #306864 and made it for the South and Central American Challenge for the Zaar World Tour 4. Whine and Cheese. Thank you so much Dreamer! This is a definite keeper!

What a wonderful flavor! I used this to marinate pork chops, and they were just delicious. I marinated for the minimum, but next time I'll try the full 24 hours. Thanks for posting! Made for ZWT Witchin Kitchen.

Very nice marinade. Thanks so much for posting. FYI - make sure you marinade it for as long as suggested, I was short an hour or so and I could tell, as the meat was still a little tough. Again - thanks for posting! Made for Potluck Tag.

This is an excellent marinade. I used it on boneless chicken breasts, but it would be great on pork, too! Made as written, and marinated the chicken about 4 hours. I also heated the marinade to a boil and used as a sauce on the chicken after cooking.
