This amazing chimichurri is not just for steak! Of course it pairs nicely with a flank steak or whatever slab of meat you may have on the grill, but it is also delicious on eggs, as a substitute salad dressing on a cabbage slaw, or as a dip for plantain chips. Spread it generously on burgers or add a pinch to a lettuce wrap sandwich. Enjoy!
