Chimichurri is a regular on steakhouse menus. Those who love it understand how much flavor this bright, herby, garlicky sauce adds to any meat or vegetable.
However, those less familiar with its flavors may assume it’s comparable to pesto, another herbaceous green sauce commonly used for pasta and chicken.
One of the key elements that differentiates the two is the heat and acidity chimichurri adds, which makes the sauce have a savory warmth and brightness.
So, what does chimichurri taste like exactly?
It’s tangy, savory, and spicy (though heat levels can be adjusted), with a similar consistency to a vinegar-based hot sauce, making it an ideal Perky Jerky flavor.
Why Is Chimichurri Steak So Popular?
Grilling is a cultural way of cooking for Argentinians, with foods kissed by the flames, injecting a smokiness into meats and any other foods that hit the grates.
Chimichurri works well as an acidic balance to cut through the richness of meat, adding flavor without the heaviness.
With a core flavor profile that follows a savoy, garlicky, fresh tang, the sauce is simple to adjust to the individual palate.
What Is Chimichurri Made Of?
Raw garlic and chile peppers bring the heat but can be tamed down by simply adding less.

What Goes Well With Chimichurri?
Chimichurri pairs best with steak but is also delicious with grilled chicken and vegetables.
Additionally, it can be used as a dip for empanadas or a marinade for fish. Its versatility and simplicity of fresh ingredients make Argentinian chimichurri the region’s signature sauce.
