EASY CHIMICHURRI MARINADE



Easy Chimichurri Marinade image

The BBQ sauce of Argentina which is great on steaks, shish kabobs and vegetables. This will add spice to your BBQ. From the Star-Ledger paper May, 2006. Wines suggested: for beef, serve with Cabernet Sauvignon (the robust flavor stands up to spicy foods) and for veggies, serve an Argentinian wine called Malbec from Quara, named for the Incan term for llama (this is rich, fruity and easy to drink). I guessed the yield!

Categories     Vegetable

Time 5m

Yield 2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 9

6 garlic cloves
2 shallots
2 cups fresh parsley
1/4 cup oregano leaves
1 tablespoon salt
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 cup olive oil
1/2 cup red wine vinegar
1/4 cup water

Steps:

  • Mince, or finely chop, the first 4 ingredients together and then add salt and pepper flakes.
  • Add the oil, vinegar and water to the above mixture. Blend with a whisk and marinate meat and/or veggies overnight in this sauce.
  • Grill meat/veggies over medium heat.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh herbs whenever possible. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but be sure to use half the amount since they are more concentrated.
  • Use a good quality olive oil. Extra virgin olive oil is the best choice, but you can also use regular olive oil.
  • Be sure to let the pork marinate for at least 2 hours, but no longer than overnight. If you marinate the pork for too long, it can become tough.
  • When you're ready to cook the pork, be sure to remove it from the marinade and pat it dry with paper towels. This will help the pork brown evenly.
  • Cook the pork over medium heat until it is cooked through. The internal temperature of the pork should be 145 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-rare, 160 degrees Fahrenheit for medium, or 170 degrees Fahrenheit for well-done.
  • Let the pork rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful pork dish.

Conclusion:

Chimichurri marinade is a flavorful and versatile marinade that can be used on a variety of meats, including pork. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you are grilling, roasting, or frying your pork, chimichurri marinade will add a delicious flavor that your family and friends will love. So next time you are looking for a new way to cook pork, give chimichurri marinade a try.
