the famous chim churi originating from Argentina and Uruguay simple to make really delivers on flavor we’re going to keep it quite simple and traditional just going to finally ship it on our parsley that’s going to go into our bowl ready for mixing the name for this sauce this has got a couple of stories the one I like the most was the one that says it was from a Irish immigrant named Jimmy Mccur and it was said that the locals couldn’t pronounce his name Jimmy Mccur and then that turned into Jimmy Chi other stories a Spanish Basque translation that roughly translates to a mixture of things in no particular order which probably sounds the most believable so red chili next julian that before we finally dice it the garlic I’m going to go in with a lovely microplane here two/3 of that a little bit of salt couple of twists of pepper now vinegar three parts oil to one part vinegar touch of lemon just cuz that vinegar is very good quality so it’s a little bit on the sweeter side just want that little freshness from the lemon just going to season it with a slight sprinkling of oregano summer in a bow

  1. For all you culinary peasants out there, here’s the translation –
    Chiffonade – slice
    Julienne – slice
    Microplane – slice
    You’re welcome.

  2. Tried chimichurri for the first time on a steak sandwich that I had at a birthday dinner. It definitely lived up to the hype.

  3. Only Argentina. Created by italian immigrants beginning of 20 centuries and moved in all South America with some different touches.

  4. There’s a basque sauce calle d tximitxurri, so hope that clarifies and there was no Irish name hurt on the making of the sauce

  5. Stop cutting steak into shitty little strips before serving it. A chef should know that all you accomplish by slicing up the whole steak first is leaving all of the juices on the cutting board and making it go cold faster. If I was served a pre cut steak is send it back and ask for it to be prepared properly. People seem to have forgotten that adults are capable of using a knife and fork by themselves.

  6. In Argentina they don't just eat it with steak, but also in "choripan", which is really just chorizo (sausage) and pan (bread), but often eaten with chimichurri or salsa criolla.

  7. Uruguay …….😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
    Se adjudican mundiales y ahora también la comida…….

  8. Herbs that dominate the “cuisine”
    Chives = Jerky
    Parsley = Chimichurri

    Please continue the remainder
    (Yes I know Allspice is a main ingredient in Jerky, but not an “herb.” Plus, Kansas City Barbecue sauce {1 of the 5 American BBQ styles}, main flavor is allspice.)
    I’m talking a specific cuisine that is overpowered by one specific herb.
    Savory?
    Chervil?
    Cilantro?
    Lemongrass?
    Please, continue the list.

  9. I wasn't expecting to hear oregano pronounced similar to Oregon (where I'm from) and now I can't unhear it 😅

  10. I love chimichurri. Easy to modify, goes great on a billion things. Steak sandwich on some nice crusty bread with chimichurri, arugula, and a bit of mayo? Absolutely heavenly.
    I like to use habanero in mine.

  11. its similar to Gremolada both are fat killers aka you can add them to fatty meats etc. and it cuts through allowing you to dial down the richness

  12. I make it with cilantro instead of parsley, and I use a red habanero for the heat. No vinegar. All lemon juice for acid. It's great on all meats, and I like to dip bread in it
