Used this recipe for the sauce and it was great served alongside a grilled skirt steak. Made as directed except substituted champagne vinegar. Thanks for the great recipe

We really enjoyed this thanks. It was a great way to use lots of fresh parsley and coriander (cilantro) given to me by my son. I added a bit of salt and pepper to the chimichurri as it seemed to need it, and I had a different cut of steak, but it worked well.

This is simply DELICIOUS! My husband and I just loved it and will make it again many times. It is really good with cheese grits and a green salad.
