I got this recipe from our dear friend El Che, Lorenzo, He is back in Argentina but wow could he grill and barbcue meat. Argentinians are famous for their grilled Parillada. A combination of grilled meats and sausages that are cooked to prefection and served with chimichurri sauce. You have not eaten barbcue until you have eat Parillada Argentina, Agentinian barbcue. This Chimichurri sauce is what the Argentinians use to put on their barbcued meats and sausages after removing them from the gril. The taste is excellant. Here I have put it on my Churassco or as you would call it grilled skirt steak. Delicious. Enjoy
