Introduction to Chimichurri
Chimichurri is a traditional Argentine sauce known for its fresh, bold flavors. It’s a staple for grilling and is often served alongside grilled meats like steak, chicken, and lamb. With a vibrant mix of parsley, garlic, vinegar, and a touch of chili, chimichurri strikes the perfect balance between earthy, tangy, and slightly spicy flavors.
At Sauce Pantry, we’ve simplified the process of making this sauce. No need to chop herbs or mix spices. Just empty the sachet into a jar, add the instructed liquid, shake, and it’s ready to use in seconds!

Ways to Use Chimichurri Sauce
1. Classic Grilled Steak Topping
Enhance your grilled steak by drizzling chimichurri sauce over it. The fresh, tangy flavors cut through the richness of the meat, creating a perfect balance. Simply marinate your steak in half the sauce, grill, and serve with the remaining chimichurri on top.
2. Veggie Marinade
Grilled or roasted vegetables come alive with this sauce. Coat veggies like zucchini, bell peppers, and mushrooms in chimichurri before grilling to add a savory kick.
3. Salad Dressing
Turn your chimichurri into a quick vinaigrette by adding a splash of olive oil and lemon juice. It pairs well with arugula, tomatoes, and roasted chickpeas.
4. Grain Bowl Booster
Bored of plain rice or quinoa? Mix a spoonful of chimichurri into your grains to elevate your bowl with fresh, herbaceous notes.

Pro Tips for Using Chimichurri
- Don’t overheat the sauce: Chimichurri is best served fresh and uncooked. High heat can dull the vibrant flavors.
- Use it as a marinade: The vinegar helps tenderize proteins like chicken, steak, and lamb, making them more flavorful and juicy.
- Store leftovers properly: Store any leftover sauce in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
