Serves: 4
Conversion Chart:  Here >>

Ingredients:
½ lb. curly leaf parsley, thoroughly rinsed and dried
3 oz. garlic cloves
½ cup white wine vinegar
4 cups olive oil
2 tbsp. oregano, dried
1 tbsp. kosher salt
2 tsp. black pepper
4 6 oz. beef tenderloins, center cut

Procedure:
1. To make chimichurri, finely mince the garlic cloves and parsley by hand — avoid using a food processor, which will bruise the parsley — and combine in a bowl with vinegar, olive oil, and oregano. Whisk ingredients together. Let chimichurri sit at room temperature for several hours.
2. For tenderloins, pat the meat dry. Using a short sawing motion with a sharp knife, cut and push across the
cylinder from left to right to unroll each into a 1- to 1.5-inch-thick steak.
3. Season steaks with salt and black pepper, quickly baste in chimichurri, and grill to desired doneness.
4. Brush each steak with a little more chimichurri and serve with plantain chips, pickled onions, yucca,
or any other Latin cuisine accompaniment.
