CHURRASCO WITH CHIMICHURRI RECIPE - (4.5/5)

Steps:

• CHIMICHURRI: In a food processor, combine the parsley and garlic with the olive oil and vinegar and pulse until smooth. Refrigerate the chimichurri for at least 2 hours or up to 8 hours before serving. CHURRASCO: Using a sharp chef's knife, make a 1/4-inch cut lengthwise in the top of the tenderloin. Turning the tenderloin and rolling it out as you go, spiral-cut the meat until you have a long, rectangular piece about 1/4 inch thick. Light a grill. Season both sides of the tenderloin with salt and pepper. Rub all but one-third of the chimichurri over the meat and grill over moderately high heat, turning once, about 4 minutes for medium-rare meat; let rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Meanwhile, in a bowl, mix the remaining chimichurri and olive oil. Season with salt and pepper and serve with the steak. CHIMICHURRI SAUCE VARIATION: In a blender or food processor*, combine the parsley, garlic, oil, vinegar, lemon juice, salt, ground black pepper and cayenne pepper. Mix well, but do not puree. *Note: Several reviewers recommended cutting by hand as the blender/processor over processed the mixture giving it a soup consistency.
