Chimichurri · Buenos Aires
Argentine raw herb-and-vinegar sauce: parsley, garlic, oregano, chili, vinegar, oil. The standard condiment for asado; sometimes also for empanadas, choripan or a steak sandwich.
Chimichurri's origins are disputed (Basque, English-immigrant or Argentine gaucho); the name probably derives from the Basque tximitxurri (a mixture of things). Whatever the origin, by the 20th century it was the parrilla condiment of record; every Buenos Aires steakhouse mixes its own in-house, and Don Julio, La Cabrera and La Carniceria each guard a signature ratio of vinegar, oil, garlic and oregano.
