All you need is less, that idea often applies to recipes. Think of Italian cuisine: the tastiest dishes are often made with just five ingredients. A simple sauce can turn a good piece of meat into a full dish. Chimichurri is a perfect example.

You might know it from an Argentine restaurant — that herbaceous green sauce. In Argentina you are almost always served a small bowl of chimichurri with meat dishes. The sauce comes in different forms, but the base is always oil and vinegar. One version is spicier than another. If you don’t like heat, simply use less chili. For extra kick, of course you can add more.

  • One good entrecôte per person
  • freshly ground pepper & salt
  • butter
  • olive oil
  • For the chimichurri:
  • 100 ml olive oil
  • 4 garlic cloves, pressed

  • 2 tablespoons dried oregano
  • 80 g fresh parsley
  • salt and pepper

Tender entrecôte with homemade chimichurri

    Put all the ingredients for the chimichurri into the chopper or food processor and pulse. Not too long! It’s actually nicer if the sauce stays a bit coarse.

    To cook the meat, heat some olive oil well in a frying pan. Rub the meat on both sides with pepper and salt, sear it on high heat and then lower the heat. Add a knob of butter, let it sit for a moment and then let the meat rest in aluminum foil for a few minutes. Slice the meat and serve with the chimichurri.

Chimichurri tastes best if you don’t process it too finely, so the sauce keeps a coarse, rustic texture. Feel free to make it in advance — the flavors will meld nicely.

Always let the entrecôte rest in aluminum foil after cooking. That keeps the juices in the meat and gives you a more tender result on the plate.
