My abuela was a fantastic cook. She would always make us the most delicious meals, and her chimichurri sauce was no exception. She would make it with fresh parsley, cilantro, garlic, red wine vinegar, and olive oil, and it was always the perfect accompaniment to her grilled meats. <br> <br> When I moved to the states, I started making my own chimichurri sauce, and I've been experimenting with it ever since. I've tried different herbs, different vinegars, and different oils, and I've finally come up with a recipe that I think is even better than my abuela's. <br> <br> The secret to my chimichurri sauce is the use of grilled portobello mushrooms. The mushrooms add a smoky flavor to the sauce that really takes it to the next level. I also like to use a combination of parsley and cilantro in my sauce. The parsley gives the sauce a bright, fresh flavor, while the cilantro adds a bit of earthiness. <br> <br> I love to serve my grilled portobello steaks with chimichurri sauce. The smoky flavor of the mushrooms pairs perfectly with the bright, herbaceous sauce. It's a dish that's both easy to make and delicious to eat.
