    We all know what steak tastes like - it's great, isn't it? but have you ever had Chimichurri sauce to accompany your protein slice? If not, then now is the time to try out this recipe; you can even make it for dinner tonight.

    Chimichurri Steaks

    In just half an hour, you will enjoy fine dining in the comfort of your own home without spending loads on an exquisite meal dining out.

    So what is Chimichurri, and why can't you live without it? Well, for starters, it is an uncooked sauce that leaves all the beneficial nutrients in place. It originated in Argentina, and you can make it both red or green, depending on your mood and what you have on hand.

    In Uruguay, they add red pepper flakes in the sauce, just as we are suggesting here; if you like spicy foods, we wholeheartedly recommend not skipping this ingredient.

    However, if you're following an autoimmune protocol or just don't handle spice well, go ahead and leave it out. It is neither a marinade nor a pesto. It is Chimichurri, plain and simple. And it is meant to be served with grilled meat.

    If it turns out that you absolutely love Chimichurri sauce, and we know you will, then you can try it with chicken meatballs too. While you have the grill fired up, we suggest adding some zesty sweet potatoes to round out the meal with some tempting complex carbohydrates, and a green salad to complement the meal too. Adding a big bunch of parsley and cilantro to your life has never tasted so good!
