This sauce is a very popular one for Beef although I also love it on grilled chicken. But probably the best combination is Patagonian Lamb with chimichurri. Whenever people get together to enjoy an “asado” (barbacue) having the chimichurri sauce is a must. The picture shows a “Corderito Patagonico” cooked for 3 hours by placing it at about 4 feet from a rather big bonfire. The lamb was brushed with chimichurri at least every 10 minutes. This one was made in San Carlos de Bariloche in the northwest of the Argentinean Patagonia. Although originally found only in the rural areas, now you can get Patagonian Lamb in many restaurants in Buenos Aires. Every household has it’s own chimichurri recipe but this is the best I ever had and probably one of the most simple ones.

1 Cup of Olive oil
½ Cup of Oregano
2 Tablespoons of chopped Garlic
2 Tablespoons of chopped Onions
¼ Cup of Vinegar (very important)

Combine all ingredients in a jar ( a glass one is better)
Set for a week in the refrigerator, and it will be ready.
