Chimichurri Sauce: What It Is and Why It Pairs Perfectly with Brazilian Grilled Meat
When it comes to Brazilian-style grilled meats, also known as Churrasco, there’s one sauce that stands out as a perfect match—Chimichurri.
What is Chimichurri ?
Chimichurri is a vibrant, herby, and tangy sauce that originates from Argentina and Uruguay. It’s typically made with fresh parsley, garlic, oregano, red wine vinegar, olive oil, and chili flakes. This uncooked sauce is a staple in South American cuisine and is especially popular as a condiment for grilled meats.
There are two main types :
- Green Chimichurri (Chimichurri Verde) – made with fresh herbs.
- Red Chimichurri (Chimichurri Rojo) – includes paprika or red chili for a bolder flavor.
Why Does Chimichurri Go So Well with Brazilian Grilled Meat ?
Brazilian barbecue is known for its rich, smoky, and juicy meats—often seasoned simply with rock salt and slow-grilled over open flame. Chimichurri complements this by:
- Cutting through the richness of the meat with its acidity.
- Adding freshness through herbs.
- Enhancing flavor with garlic and spices.
- Creating balance with a perfect mix of oil and vinegar.
It’s a match made in grilling heaven.
At Pedro Churrascaria and Steakhouse, our house-made Chimichurri is prepared fresh daily, bringing authentic South American flavor to every bite of meat.
