Chimichurri

 

Chef: AJ DeRosa

This recipe comes from his experiences as a fishing guide in Argentina.

Utilize an old wine bottle. Pour ½ inch of salt into the bottom of the bottle. Put in 6 or 7 peeled garlic cloves, a couple bay leaves and some crushed dried peppers. Fill the bottle to ¼ with olive oil, fill to ½ then with red wine, add enough water to fill the bottle. Make 3 triangular notches or canals vertically in the cork to create a shaker. Use as a baste during cooking. This is often used on a flank steak that has been marinated in olive oil, parsley and garlic for several hours before grilling.
