Last summer during our vacation in Florida, I tried chimichurri steak for the first time. I actually didn’t even order it myself, but tried a bite of my Grandma’s dish. I was a little leery and not sure if I would like it but it ended up being love at first bite. It was bright, fresh and perfect for a summer meal.

Ever since returning, I have been meaning to make it at home but I just never got around to it. I was looking through our Florida photo album recently and the chimichurri came back to me. So I searched around the net for a delicious and simple recipe that we would all enjoy.

It seems like a large number of ingredients for a dish but a lot of them are things you probably already have on hand. What’s even better is that you literally throw everything in a food processor, zip it around then marinade the steak for a few hours.

I also whipped up some amazing black beans and rice (also inspired by our Florida trip) that I will be sharing with you all soon. It was the perfect meal to bring me back to the sunny, ocean breezes of Florida!
