Chimichurri Sauce

You can mince the ingredients by hand or use a food processor, which is faster and easier.

There are many variations on this condiment, and it is served with everything from empanadas to grilled steak. I've used it with steak and had it served with grilled Chilean Sea Bass, both uses were amazing.
