Tips

  • It goes great with anything grilled.
  • You can also do it in the microwave.
  • It's on the edge of hot, but not so hot you can't eat it.
  • It’s definitely hot, but it’s got lots of other flavors going on.
  • I'd put this chimichurri on fried eggs. I’d put it on almost anything.
  • The spices and garlic are potent enough to stand up to the steak, but balances with a bright, tangy sweetness from the vinegar. It’s heat, but with flavor.
  • Instead of herbs, which tend to be muted by oil, it used paprika and red pepper flakes, which made so much more sense.
  • This has punch, this has depth, and we think it makes a much better partner for a grilled steak than the lighter, fresher cousin, green chimichurri.
  • Red chimichurri is a surprise addition to Chris Kimball’s 'best recipes' list because it’s three of his least favorite things: grated garlic, heat, and balsamic vinegar. While each of those components tend to overpower other flavors, here, they combine to create something that’s very useful and very good.
  • We’d never heard of red chimichurri until we travelled to Argentina, where the condiment was an unexpected highlight.
  • It has punch and depth.
  • It makes a much better partner for grilled steak than green chimichurri.
  • It's hot, but with lots of other flavors going on.
  • It is not so hot that it is inedible.
  • It can be used on fried eggs or almost anything else.
  • The use of paprika and red pepper flakes instead of herbs makes more sense as they are not muted by oil.
  • The spices and garlic are potent enough to stand up to steak, balanced with tangy sweetness from vinegar.
  • This recipe combines three elements that often overpower: grated garlic, heat, and balsamic vinegar, to create something useful and good.
  • The condiment was an unexpected highlight during a trip to Argentina.
  • The chimichurri is useful and good, despite containing ingredients that are typically overpowering.
  • The spices and garlic are strong enough to complement steak, balanced by a tangy sweetness from vinegar.
  • The recipe is hot, but not too hot, and has many other flavors.
  • It is suitable for grilled dishes, fried eggs, and almost anything else.
  • Red pepper flakes and paprika are preferred over herbs for a more impactful flavor profile.
  • This version of chimichurri offers a better partnership for grilled steak than traditional green chimichurri.
  • The dish highlights unexpected flavor combinations discovered in Argentina.
