Chimichurri Steak

Argentina

The name possibly derives from Basque tximitxurri, brought by Basque immigrants to the Pampas in the 19th century.

Argentina's perfect pairing — a charred beef steak resting in a pool of vivid chimichurri of parsley, oregano, garlic and red wine vinegar. The backbone of the Argentine table.
