This recipe introduces our subscribers to an amazing condiment called Chimichurri from Argentina that adds a blast of flavor, which perfectly complements any cut of steak. It’s not just that Argentina has a lot of cattle ranches, but that the beef has a reputation as the best in the world owing to the endless grasslands called ‘Pampas’ that cover the northern half of the country, roamed by rugged ‘Gauchos’ (Argentine cowboys) herding cattle. Argentina is synonymous with the tango (dance) and its superb beef, having been the world’s greatest exporter of beef from the early 1800’s until recently (Brazil took the crown in the 2000’s).
